GARDEN MOON

Verse 1
Long, long ago on the Isle of Dreams
There lived a maiden fair
With emerald eyes and crimson lips
And long, flowing Titian hair
Now the day did come for the maiden fair
To seek the flower of love
And so began her journey to
A place only lovers knew of
CHORUS
In the pale moonlight of the garden moon
A rose did wait to bloom
In the pale moonlight of the garden moon
A kiss would be coming soon
Verse 2
When she arrived at the garden gates
A wizard did greet her there
?Take care,? he said ?lest ye be pricked
By the thorn of the Blue Rose rare?
Now the maiden said to the wizard wise
?My heart is open wide
Love?s true scent will be my guide?
And so she stepped inside
(CHORUS)
Verse 3
But just as sure as the wizard warned
Her finger touched a thorn
And in a flash a spell was cast
And so did change her form
Now a rose she would be until the time
A sweet and gentle mist
Would bring her true love there one day
To free her with a kiss
(CHORUS) (REPEAT)
