lyrics

for tg

constant is my own true love
fragrant as the fairest flower, gentle as the dove
in the town you’ll find her there
scent of wild gardenias in her hair

make for her a silken gown
sew it fine with lace and daisy buttons all around
ruby rosebuds everywhere
pretty wild gardenias for her hair

soon i shall meet her in the square today
comfort, complete her, how could i feel any way
but grateful for the love we share
and the wild gardenias in her hair

someday we will married be
all the people of the city will come out to see
children’s voices fill the air
oceans of gardenias for her hair

time may disguise her as we grow and live
older and wiser, i shall walk across the river
i will find her waiting there
scent of wild gardenias in the snowdrift of her hair
scent of wild gardenias in her hair
