Lyrics
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 take a little time off To appreciate the day And love builds 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

[instrumental]

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 builds 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 a lover who Cares as much Well I guess, I guess it goes to prove

[instrumental]

That love built a garden Growed 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
