I was sitting in my grandfather's lap
The Cherry trees were all in full bloom

Played around, laughing all day long
We danced and we sang old songs

He'd put a smile on my face in his garden
Made me forget about my burdens

Lemonade under the cherry trees
In his garden I felt at ease

My grandfather's green garden
Where the time seemed to take a rest

That is where I would want to dwell
An oasis of caring and playfulness

He moved on to the next phase
We are forever linked in time and space

I feel he's standing in the light
But out of reach and out of sight

I hope I'll meet him again someday
In his green garden of joyful play
