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
