| If I can stay here in Johnny's garden |
| As the swift bird flies over the grasses |
| Dipping now and then to take his breakfast |
| Thus I come and go and I travel |
| But I can watch that bird and unravel ...CHORUS |
| With his love and his sharing |
| He puts his life into beauty sharing |
| And his children are his flowers |
| And they give me peace in quiet hours ...CHORUS |
