The Garden

Vern Gosdin


She planted roses , the first year we married - it soon was a garden we'd go walking through - My job kept me travling 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 its 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  on  me  why  god took  her  from  me  I  bet  the flowers  in  heaven are looking  better  this  year. 
Where  the  dew  kissed  the  roses -  where weeds    now have grown
