Lyrics Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis

Magic Garden

There is a garden

Something like the shadow of a butterfly

And lies beyond the gates of dark and light

And, darling, it belongs to me

When you go there

There will be such laughter in the dimpled sky

The songs you sing will drive away the night

The magic garden has a way of making you feel free

It's the place I've made for you

From match-boxes and cards and dominoes

And it won't fall down

And when your dreaming vanishes

Like snowflakes in the summer sky

Melts away in darkness

And you don't know why the magic garden

Waits without the gates wide open

And, darling, I'll be standin' just inside

And when your dreaming vanishes

Like snowflakes in the summer sky

Melts away in darkness

And you don't know why the magic garden

Waits without the gates wide open

And, darling, I'll be standin' just inside

It's so soft and warm

Behind those hedges

No hard edges, no hard edges

There is a garden

Vanishes like snowflakes in the summer sky

Melts away in darkness

And you don't know why the magic garden

Waits without the gates wide open

And, darling, I'll be standin' just inside
