My Garden of Love Songtext

von Benny Hill

Oh the sun and the rain fell from up above
And landed on the earth below,
In my garden of love

Oh there's a rose for the way your spirits rose when we met,
A forget-me-not to remind me to remember not to forget,
A pine tree for the way I pined over you
And an ash for the day I ashed you to be true

And the sun and the rain fell from up above
And landed on the earth below,
In my garden of love

Well there's a palm tree that we planted when we had our first date,
A turnip for the way you always used to turnip late,
Your mother and your cousin Chris, they often used to come
So, in their honour, I have raised a nice chris-an'-the-mum

Oh the sun and the rain fell from up above
And landed on the earth below,
In my garden of love

Oh there's a beetroot for the day that you said that you'd beetroo' to me,
A sweet pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me,
But you had friends who needed you,
There was Ferdy, there was Liza
So in their honour, I put down a load of ferdy-liza

And the sun and the rain fell from up above
And landed on the earth below,
In my garden of love

But Gus the gardener's gone now and you went with him too,
The fungus here reminds me of the fun Gus is having with you;
The rockery's a mockery, with weeds it's overgrown,
The fuchsia's gone, I couldn't face the fuchsia all alone

And my tears fell like raindrops from the sky above,
And poisoned all the flowers in my garden of love.
