Garden in the Rain


T'was just a garden in the rain


Close to a little leafy lane


A touch of color 'neath skies of gray


The raindrops kissed the flower beds


The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you they seemed to say


Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
Maybe it was just that I was there with you


T'was just a garden in the rain
But then the sun came out again


And sent us happily on our way
