Текст песни The Garden - Jimmy Scott

If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
We'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
Then He looked down upon the earth
And He saw your precious face

He put His arms around you
And He lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
Yes, He always takes the best

We knew that you were suffering
We knew you were in pain
We knew you'd never get well
On this earth again

So He closed your weary eyes and
He whispered, "Peace be thine."
Then He took you up to heaven
So gentle, so kind

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
Then He looked down upon the earth
And He saw your precious face

He put His arms around you
And He lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
Oh, God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
