A Garden's Debt To Flowers

I lived in a garden,
lush with blooms taken for granted,
light years from the desert
where the path I followed lead.
(and there was you)

You were like the flower,
special once and then forgotten,
lost between the pages
of a book I never read.

(chorus)
A garden's debt to flowers
is the sparrow's debt to song;
I never knew I needed you
until you were gone.
A garden's debt to flowers
is the sparrow's debt to song;
I never knew I loved you
until you were gone.

I will live and perish,
only once and be forgotten,
lost among the millions
of a world with lots to spare.
(but I knew you)

You were my sweet lover,
long ago and yet forever,
time can't dull the present
of a heart that truly cared.

(bridge)
The present that you gave me
is a debt I can't repay;
but I can sing this song for free
'cause it's given the same way.
This is the song you gave me
in that book of yesterdays.

(chorus)
A garden's debt to flowers
is the sparrow's debt to song;
I never knew I needed you
until you were gone.

A garden's debt to flowers
is the sparrow's debt to song;
I never knew I needed you
until you were gone.

A garden's debt to flowers
is the sparrow's debt to song;
I never knew I needed you
until you were gone.

A garden's debt to flowers
is the sparrow's debt to song;
I never knew I needed you
I never knew I needed you
I never knew I needed you
but should have all along

There is something magical about Lisa's voice which goes well with the beauty of both the song and the visuals here. Marvelously done.
