A rose garden is the perfect place She chose for your special resting place We close a page from our lives To touch a heart it is a special thing So much joyfulness to life it brings Oh such sadness in goodbyes Oh do do do little Gordon Oh do do do we think of you Oh do do do and the love we had Now time will go marching at a steady pace In time the garden it will leave no trace Of the time we had for one spring Yes tick tock, the ever ticking of the clock Knock, knock on the door which has no lock And rock of ages we will sing Oh do do do little Gordon Oh do do do we think of you Oh do do do and the love we had On my knees I get and I do make a vow Hey hey hey I don’t wanna forget to love those I have now Oh do do do little Gordon Oh do do do we think of you Oh do do do and the love we had Oh do do do little Gordon Oh do do do we think of you Oh do do do and the love we had A rose garden is the perfect place She chose for your special resting place We close a page from our lives
