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 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...
