Love Builds a Garden

You hear it every day

"Once upon a time," they say

Once upon a time in this place

I looked and saw on your face

A smile that spoke to me

In, oh, so many ways

The Sunday morning bells

Rang out that all was well

Sunshine across the yard

We'd rest when we worked hard

We'd take a little time off

To appreciate the day

And love builds a garden

Grew it from the ground up

Each one of us knowin'

Every inch of it was us

We pulled it all together

Hoping and believing

That love built this garden

For the two of us to dream in

We'd get a little rain

Then the sun came out again

But a frost, it's hard to fight

Once it takes hold flowers die

There's only so much you can do

To keep some things alive

And love built a garden

Grew it from the ground up

Each one of us knowing

Every inch of it was us

We pulled it all together

Hoping and believing

That love built this garden

For the two of us to dream in

Sad to say, it's true

Without another who

Cares as much, well I guess

I guess it goes to prove

And love built a garden

Grows it from the ground up

Each one of you knowing

Every inch of it is trust

Pulled it all together

Hoping and believing

That love builds a garden

For the two of you to dream in
