Old father time has seen a million million hearts
Break with pain down the highway of years
I never dreamed that the love I thought was true
Would deceive and just leave me these tears.

The little seeds of happiness I grew with tender care
Have withered now that fate has played it's part
And my bud of love has closed I have lost the only rose
That was blooming in the garden of my heart.

--- Instrumental ---

Mr Moon I wonder as you gaze from up above
On my broken heart that love has cast away
If there's just one trace of sadness on my darling's face tonight
Will she bloom within my heart again some day.

Will the weeds and briars vanish where the tears of sorrow fell
And let the seeds of romance play it's part
Or must I go on living with just mem'ries of a rose
That once blossomed in the garden of my heart...
