A rose garden is the perfect place
She chose for your special resting place
We close a page from our lives

To touch a heart it is a special thing
So much joyfulness to life it brings
Oh such sadness in goodbyes

Oh do do do little Gordon
Oh do do do we think of you
Oh do do do and the love we had

Now time will go marching at a steady pace
In time the garden it will leave no trace
Of the time we had for one spring

Yes tick tock, the ever ticking of the clock
Knock, knock on the door which has no lock
And rock of ages we will sing

Oh do do do little Gordon
Oh do do do we think of you
Oh do do do and the love we had

On my knees I get and I do make a vow
Hey hey hey
I don’t wanna forget to love those I have now

Oh do do do little Gordon
Oh do do do we think of you
Oh do do do and the love we had

Oh do do do little Gordon
Oh do do do we think of you
Oh do do do and the love we had

A rose garden is the perfect place
She chose for your special resting place
We close a page from our lives
