Gardenia Lyrics - Singles - Bernard Crystal

A million dollar face 

So ivory and fair 

That launched a thousand ships 

Danced with Fred Astaire 

Lusted for her dreams 

So passionate and wild 

So talented it seemed 

Everybody wants to be a Gardenia 

So beautiful and delicate to touch 

Something 'bout the way we loved Gardenia 

As the years went by 

Her beauty didn't fade 

Movies didn't come 

She felt so betrayed because 

The more she had to give 

The less they want to buy 

I guess she outlived 

Her moment in the sun to be Gardenia 

So beautiful and delicate to touch 

Something 'bout the way we loved Gardenia 

Hadn't seen her for sometime 

And I apologized 

I said I'd give my youth to you 

For the wisdom in your eyes 

I wish I'd been there every day 

To take good care of you 

She said Baby, don't you cry 

I knew you'd come in time to see Gardenia 

And with her fragile hand she said good-bye 

Something 'bout the way we loved Gardenia
