The Garden Lyrics - Vern Gosdin

She planted roses the first year we married 

It soon was a garden we'd go walking through 

My job kept me traveling 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 living are gone 

Sometimes when I feel like I just cant 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 on why god took her from me 

I bet the flowers in heaven are looking better this year.
