A tender little garden's growing
Growing softly in my heart
One by one each little flower
Comes to blossom from afar

I think a little birdy's dropping
Each bloom upon my hand
To unfold their fragrant petals
With as much love as they can

Then no matter, anywhere
Dressed up to go or here inside
I tuck my lovely little blossoms
Right in my heart to ride

I know you have your garden too
Of blossoms just like mine
Each special friend, beloved
So delicate, divine

To nurture and enjoy
And every day to tend
I thank God you're blooming in my garden
My precious blossom friend
