[v1] There’s a garden in my back yard That changes every year it’s full of wondrous flowers And leaves that fall like lonesome tears And there she toils in the soil This dear wife of mine And every year I love her even more [v2] There’s a park near my house A few blocks down the street Where trees climb towards the sky And little kids play hide and seek And on her morning walks she talks to herself This dear wife of mine And every year I love her even more [Chorus] Our love brings me comfort Like a spring day in the sun Like a walk in the moonlight Knowing she’s the only one Sometimes we just sit by the fire Smiling like two lovebirds And when she says I love you Better words I’ve never heard [v3] And when it’s late at night She says, sweetie come to bed It’s been a long, long day And it’s time to rest your head And then she wraps her arms around me This dear wife of mine And every day I love her even more [ v4] There’s a garden in my back yard That changes every year it’s full of wondrous flowers And leaves that fall like lonesome tears And there she toils in the soil This dear wife of mine And every year I love her even more
