Vern Gosdin - The Garden lyrics

She planted roses, the first year we married

It soon was a garden we'd go walking through

My job kept me travlin’, but when I came home to heaven

She was so proud to show me all the love that she grew

I heard her talking, one day to a old friend

She said I don't want to hurt him, but it’s out of control

I feel so guilty ‘cause he'll be so helpless

He won't understand why I just got to go

Now I come to the garden alone

All my reasons I once had for livin’ are gone

Sometimes when I feel like I just can’t go on

I come to the garden alone

No one can imagine just how much I miss her

I'd give up this whole world to once more hold her near

It's just beyond me why God took her from me

I’ll bet the flowers in heaven are lookin’ better this year

Now I come to the garden alone

Where the dew kissed the roses, the weeds now have grown

Sometimes when I feel like I just can’t go on

I come to the garden alone

Oh, I come to the garden alone
