Oh I'm packin' all the loneliness I'm not leavin' any sad regrets

I'll wash my mem'ries from hallways of your mind

And the way you should remember me is like a page of history

Cause I'm leaving your world a better place to live

Walk through the roses in the garden before the morning sun is shining

Where you gave me every reason I had to live

That ain't dew on the petal it's the tears I lost while leaving

While leaving your world a better place to love



If you see a shodow along the highway that's just me a going my way

Cause I'm too proud to show my face in the sun

And when evening coming on like a shadow I'll soon be gone

Cause I'm leaving your world a better place to live

Walk through the roses in the garden...
