That old April yearning
Once more is returning
And I have a longing to wanderThat leaves may be falling
But April is calling
And the prim roses beckon me yonderFor one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no moreFor one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gateThat old arch is saying
It's time to go straying
When no one but April can find meTo try and recover
The heart of a lover
That I left lying somewhere behind meJust one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no moreFor one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gateOne more rose before I close the garden gate
