Once when the roses flowered In the garden of love We played together on the grass Time passed away when we lay In the garden of love Leaves were gently whispering in the wind
That was the only secret That was the only thing We ever had believed in That was the place of love That was the only shelter There was an atmosphere That gave us strength That was like home for us
Your body snuggled up to me In the garden of love As we dreamed of distant things And we hatched little secrets In the garden of love And we swore to be eternal friends
Years went by i went again To the garden of love And i saw what never i had seen A chapel built in the middle Where we used to play on the green And tombstones where flowers should have been
The gates of this chapel were shut And nothing was like before And i knew our garden of love Had disappeared for ever more
