Lyrics
[Verse 1] You take my hand by the garden gate A little green map and a morning to spare We follow the path where the tall palms sway You point out a parrot perched way up there [Chorus] Come along, my girl, let’s take our time Every leaf has a story, every bloom a sign Side by side where the bright birds sing The best thing we grow is the time we bring [Verse 2] You find a red flower beside the pond I read its name from a weathered sign You laugh when a lizard darts over the stone And tell me its colors are yours and mine [Chorus] Come along, my girl, let’s take our time Every leaf has a story, every bloom a sign Side by side where the bright birds sing The best thing we grow is the time we bring [Bridge] When you’re taller and paths feel small Keep this slow morning, remember it all A hand to hold and a world to see You make this garden more beautiful to me [Final chorus] Come along, my girl, let’s take our time Every leaf has a story, every bloom a sign Side by side where the bright birds sing The best thing we grow is the time we bring [Outro] By the fountain’s song, we wander on Just you and me till the day moves along
