That old April yearning
Once more is returning
And I have a longing to wander

The leaves may be falling,
But April is calling
And the prim roses beckon me yonder

For one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more
For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate

That old arc is saying
It's time to go straying
When no one but April can find me

To try and recover
The heart of a lover
That I left lying somewhere behind me

Just one more walk along the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more
For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate

One more rose before I close the garden gate
