The Neglected Garden

Cécile Corbel

So many years have passed
The dew is still on the roses
I left my childhood
In a garden green

Come in the garden and look at the trees
I used to play there when I was a child
Squirrels and birds, little fairies
Settled down there long ago

So many years have passed
The dew is still on the roses
I left my childhood
In a garden green

Come in the garden and sit on the grass
I used to sit there when I was a child
Ivy and moss, little daisies
Covered the lane long ago

So many years have passed
The dew is still on the roses
I kept my memories
In that garden green

I kept my memories
In that garden green
