the garden
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.  Where the dew kissed the roses Where weeds now have grown
