The Gardens Of Sampson & Beasley - Pink Martini, China Forbes, Thomas M. Lauderdale

Under Orion’s starry sky

I lie in the moonlit garden

Wondering where to cast my eyes

For all that I see is heaven

Oh why does it have to end?

I wish we could still pretend

You’re near, just around the bend

In the gardens of Sampson and Beasley

Last time we were in this place

Your face had a certain sadness

And oh.

How I’ve wondered since

What you’ve done with all that sadness

Oh why did it have to end?

I wish we could still pretend

Our love was around the bend

In the gardens of Sampson and Beasley

(Instrumental)

Oh oh … oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh … oh oh

Oh oh oh oh … oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh … oh oh oh

Under Orion’s starry sky

I lie in the moonlit garden

Wondering when I close my eyes

If I’ll ever find my heaven

Oh why will it never end?

These days where I still pretend

Our love is around the bend

In the gardens of Sampson and Beasley
