Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a thorn tree in the garden
If you know just what I mean
And I hate to hurt your feelings
But it's not the way it seems
'Cause I miss her
[Verse 2]
She's the only girl I've cared for
The only one I've known
And no one ever shared more love
Than we've known
And I miss her
[Verse 3]
But it all seems so strange, you see
'Cause she'd never turn her back on me
And leave without a last goodbye
And if she winds up walking the streets
Loving every other man she meets
Who'll be the one to answer why?
Lord, I hope it's not me
Oh, it's not me
[Verse 4]
And if I never see her face again
I never hold her hand
And if she's in somebody's arms
I know I'll understand
But I'll miss that girl
Oh Lord, I still miss that girl
[Verse 5]
Maybe someday soon
Some way
