(Intro)
Once when the roses flowered
In the garden of love
We played together on the grass
Time passed away when we lay
In the garden of love
Leaves were gently whispering in the wind
That was the only secret
That was the only thing
We ever had believed in
That was the place of love
That was the only shelter
There was an atmosphere
That gave us strength
That was like home for us
Your body snuggled up to me
In the garden of love
As we dreamed of distant things
And we hatched little secrets
In the garden of love
And we swore to be eternal friends
That was the only secret
That was the only thing
We ever had believed in
That was the place of love
That was the only shelter
There was an atmosphere
That gave us strength
That was like home for us
Years went by I went again
To the garden of love
And I saw what never I had seen
A Chapel built in the middle
Where we used to play on the green
And tombstones where flowers should have been
That was the only secret
That was the only thing
We ever had believed in
That was the place of love
That was the only shelter
There was an atmosphere
That gave us strength
That was like home for us
The gates of this Chapel were shut
And nothing was like before
And I knew our garden of love
Had disappeared for ever more
That was the only secret
That was the only thing
We ever had believed in
That was the place of love
That was the only shelter
There was an atmosphere
That gave us strength
That was like home for us
That was the only secret
That was the only thing
We ever had believed in
That was the place of love
That was the only shelter
There was an atmosphere
That gave us strength
