Gardenia Lyrics
(Crystal Bernard/David Rhyne)A million dollar faceSo ivory and fairThat launched a thousand shipsDanced with Fred AstaireLusted for her dreamsSo passionate and wildSo talented it seemedEverybody wants to be a GardeniaSo beautiful and delicate to touchSomething 'bout the way we loved GardeniaAs the years went byHer beauty didn't fadeMovies didn't comeShe felt so betrayed becauseThe more she had to giveThe less they want to buyI guess she outlivedHer moment in the sun to be GardeniaSo beautiful and delicate to touchSomething 'bout the way we loved GardeniaHadn't seen her for sometimeAnd I apologizedI said I'd give my youth to youFor the wisdom in your eyesI wish I'd been there every dayTo take good care of youShe said Baby, don't you cry I knew you'd come in time to see GardeniaAnd with her fragile hand she said good-byeSomething 'bout the way we loved Gardenia
