Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back in the days when the world was new,
Back in the days when you loved me, too!
We found a garden, a beautiful garden,
Where sweet red roses grew.
[Refrain]
Thro’ the garden of Sunshine and Roses
I wandered with you by my side
But Summer had fled
And the roses are dead
Like the love that has withered and died.
There I dreamed in the beautiful Springtime,
We would go side by side thro’ the years,
But my garden of Sunshine and Roses,
Is a garden of shadows and tears.
[Verse 2]
Into the Valley of Yesterday
Of times my poor lonely heart will stray,
Seeking to find you, dear, just to remind you
That love will find a way
[Refrain]
