  • I leave the noise and the dark city canyons
    And walk through gates of wrought iron black
    There lies a world that's
    Transformed before me
    When I arrive will I ever go back

    I take a walk in botanical gardens
    And look for the faces of
    The pretty young girls
    Just like the flowers that
    Bloom all around me
    I fall in love in this colorful world

    You might go walking and thinking of nothing
    Perhaps your love life is caught in a bind
    There in a flowery dress in the sunlight
    You'll find somebody who will
    Change your mind

    She's haunting me and she losing my memory
    That beautiful face with perfume in the air
    She brushes my arm and smiles ever faintly
    A famine and vision with the sun in her hair

    We might go walking hand in
    Hand in the garden and cross the bridge when
    It's starting to rain
    And then go laughing and looking for shelter
    And find a feeling that you can't explain

    The colorful birds in botanical gardens
    All fly away to a breezy lagoon
    Where lovers can swim in
    The warm summer waters
    Surrounded by flowers and the
    Light of the moon

    It's getting late and the
    Gates will be closing
    Shall I remain or go back to the world
    Shall I remain in botanical gardens
    Surrounded by flowers and
    Those beautiful girls

    Shall I remain in botanical garden
    Surrounded by flowers and
    Those beautiful girls
    I love those flowers and
    Those beautiful girls
    I dig those flowers and those beautiful girls Writer/s: DON MCLEAN
