You hear it every day
Once upon a time they say
Once upon a time in this place
I looked and saw on your face
A smile that spoke to me
In oh so many ways

The Sunday morning bells
Rang out that all was well
Sunshine across the yard
We'd rest when we worked hard
We take a little time off
To appreciate the day

And love builds a garden
Grew it from the ground up
Each one of us knowing
Every inch of it was us

We pulled it all together
Hoping and believing
That love built this garden
For the two of us to dream in

We'd get a little rain
Then the sun came out again
But a frost it's hard to fight
Once it takes hold flowers die
There's only so much you can do
To keep some things alive

And love builds a garden
Grew it from the ground up
Each one of us knowing
Every inch of it was us

We pulled it all together
Hoping and believing
That love built this garden
For the two of us to dream in

Sad to say, it's true
Without a lover who
Cares as much
Well I guess, I guess it goes to prove

And love builds a garden
Grew it from the ground up
Each one of us knowing
Every inch of it was us

We pulled it all together
Hoping and believing
That love built this garden
For the two of you to dream in
