Verse
Am Dm Am
There's place in the garden you go when you're happy

A place in the garden you go when you're blue
Am Dm Am
You sit by my side in the shade of the willow
E E Am
Your head on my shoulder, my arm around you
[Refrão] Dm Am E Am
While you tell me the one that you love has departed

Leaving you lonely and so broken hearted

And I can't find the words to say how much I love you
E E Am
How your broken heart is breaking mine too

If I had told you that sweet summer night

Would you have listened, now I'll never know

The soft breeze is sighing a mournful goodbye
