THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
MEL'S GARDEN
SOMETHING INSIDE MORE PRECIOUS THAN WORDS EVER HEARD
see her sailing on the wind of imagination
you've got to be quick to catch
that far away look in her eyes
in those moments she is real
maybe someday we will feel
comfortable again
I lost myself in
the storms in
Melanie's Garden
there's a place inside
no one's ever seen
it's a magical secret
always seventeen
a kiss in a glance
but what does it mean
no one's ever been in
Melanie's Garden
she's a beautiful child
all grown up too soon
with a head full of dreams
from a different tune
she laughs at heaven and hell
and sees the moon at noon
will anyone understand
Melanie's Garden
she's got wonderlust
but she holds it all back
she's got priceless trust
kept deep in her knapsack
skating over trembling feelings
with a happiness smile
there's so much yet to be born in
Melanie's Garden
dancing child inside
playing so cool
so much to hide
she is no fool
she knows how to walk the line
but believes in no rule
she does well in school
giving just enough...
what we need to know...
she's got the right stuff...
rolling with the flow...
so much yet to grow in
Melanie's Garden
when she was a younger child
I thought I knew her well
she was so free and wild
she could have been my little girl
we could have conquered the world
anything's possible in
Melanie's Garden
something inside more precious than words ever heard
it's Melanie's Garden
I got lost one moment in her eyes
and I found Melanie's Garden
in another life we could have fallen in love
something inside more precious reach higher above
wanting to kiss the dreams we've always dreamed of
all this and more is stored in
Melanie's Garden
and then storms came
things just couldn't stay the same
everything changes
rearranges
now we are strangers in
Melanie's Garden
see her sailing on the wind of imagination
you've got to be quick to catch
that far away look in her eyes
in those moments she is real
maybe someday we will feel
comfortable again
I lost a friend in
the storms in
Melanie's Garden
Melanie's Garden
(The Storms)
