lyrics

Poppy-seeded dress, spade and pail at hand,
Whistling as she crosses over to her garden land.

Row by row she counts them no taller than her hem.
Planted with a child-like love, each are her best friend.

Shifting sands, ocean tides, colors change, leaves fall,
Garden grow and fade away, a love story remains.

Months go by and soon its cold, the frozen ground takes hold.
No longer can she see her friends beneath the winter snow.

Shifting sands, ocean tides, colors change, leaves fall,
Garden grow and fade away, a love story remains.

Itsy-bitsy spider dancing in the rain,
See how the seasons pass, oh they pass,
A love story remains.
