C# F#
She planted roses , the first year we
C#
married - it soon was a garden we'd go
G# C#
walking through - My job kept me travling
F#
but when I came home to heaven
C# G#
She was so proud to show me- all the love
C# A
that she grew
D G
I heard her talking , one day to a old
D
friend She said I don't want to hurt him
A D
But its out of control . I feel so guilty
G D
cause he'll be so helpless - He won't
A D
understand why I just got to go
G
Now I come to the garden alone
C
All my reasons I once had for living are
G B7 C
gone . Sometimes when I feel like I just
A G D G A
cant go on - I come to the garden alone
No one can imagine - just how much I miss
her . I'd give up this whole world to once more
hold her near. It's just beyond on me why god
took her from me I bet the flowers in heaven
are looking better this year.
Chorus :
2. Where the dew kissed the roses - where weeds
now have grown
