Here's to the look that turned to a smile
Lingered a while to shorten the mile
On the road that we took 'til we came to the stile
That would lead us right out of the garden

And here's to the look that lingered that day
And caused us to reach out and touch in that way
Til our lips said all that words couldn't say
By the stile at the side of the garden

And here's to the touch that became an embrace
That would quicken the heart of the whole human race
While the scent of the orchard and the sun on your face
Crossed over the wall of he garden

For outside the garden the wild flowers grow
They're smiling in circles not standing in rows
Their colours unite and it's not just for show
For love has no walls to it's garden

And here's to the apple you picked from the bough
The juice on your fingers I can still taste it now
Sweet Eve it would seem that our children know how
We shared love by the side of the garden

And here's to the one who said live and let live,
Made time for love, took time to forgive
Said always remember as long as you live
Love has no walls to it's garden

For outside the garden the wild flowers grow
They're smiling in circles not standing in rows
Their colours unite and it's not just for show
For love has no walls to it's garden.
