'Twas just a garden in the rain Close to a little leafy lane, A touch of color 'neath skies of gray. The rain - drops kissed the flower beds; The blossoms raised their thirsty heads. A perfumed "Thank you" they seemed to say. Bridge: Surely here was charm beyond com - pare to view; Maybe it was just that I was there with you. 'Twas just a garden in the rain, But then the sun came out again And sent us happily on our way. (Instrumental) 'Twas just a garden in the rain, But then the sun came out again And sent us happily on our way.
