a growing time

it's a growing time

it's the springtime of the year

it's a growing time

the sun is moving near

it is yours and mine

the days are ours to share

within our peaceful garden

and this growing time so fair

caring quietly

for the garden in our care

it's a joy to see

true love's blossoms growing there

when you walk with me

a single shadow's thrown

across our peaceful garden

and this growing time we've known

now the sheep are in the meadow

and the cows are in the corn

and if wishes were like horses we would ride

like the light unto the shadow

and the blossom to the thorn

we've come to learn we flourish side by side

side by side
