The Garden of Eden





The Garden of Eden

Of all the gardens that I've ever known

'Tis the Garden of Eden that's my favorite home
It lives near the meadow by trees and a stream
There I leave all my cares and I take all my dreams
It's my heavenly home and everything there
Is peaceful and calm, and the weather is fair
If the day has given me sorrow or stress
I travel the road to the place I love best
Where I know I can find near the trees and the stream
My home waiting calmly for me and my dreams
If you like, you can join me as I travel afar
And together we'll stay there out under the stars
We can linger awhile, maybe spend a few days
Under blue skies above and the sun on our face
We can mosey along past the woods and the stream
And talk about things we see in our dreams
Dreams of laughter and joy and days filled with love
In that wonderful garden sent from heaven above
We can stay there awhile, for a day, maybe more
Just passing the time, counting rocks on the shore
In my Garden of Eden, time is endless, you see
And whenever you want to, you can go there with me.
