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
