(Jimmy Webb)



There is a garden

Something like the shadow of a butterfly

And lies beyond the gates of dark and light

And darling, it belongs to me



And when you go there

There will be such laughter in the dimpled sky

The songs you sing

Will drive away the night

The magic garden

Has a way of making you feel free



It's the place I've made for you

From match-boxes and cards and dominoes

And it won't fall down

And when your dreaming vanishes

Like snowflakes in the summer sky

Melts away in darkness

And you don't know why the magic garden

Waits without the gates wide open

And darlin', I'll be standin' just inside



And when your dreaming vanishes

Like snowflakes in the summer sky

Melts away in darkness

And you don't know why the magic garden

Waits without the gates wide open

And darlin', I'll be standin' just inside



It's so soft and warm

Behind those hedges

No hard edges

No hard edges



There is a garden

Vanishes like snowflakes in the summer sky

Melts away in darkness

And you don't know why the magic garden

Waits without the gates wide open

And darlin', I'll be standin' just inside
