 LYRICS

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you'll surely pardon:
Daffodil, heart's ease and phlox
Meadowsweet and lady smocks
Gentian, lupine and tall hollyhocks,
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots,
In an English country garden. 

How many insects come here and go,
Through our English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you'll surely pardon:
Fireflies, moths, and bees
Spiders climbing in the trees
Butterflies that sway on the cool, gentle breeze.
There are snakes, ants that sting
And creeping things,
In an English country garden.

How many songbirds fly to and fro
Through our English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those I miss you'll surely pardon:
Bobolink, cuckoo and quail
Tanager and cardinal
Bluebird, lark, thrush and nightingale.
There is joy in the spring
When the birds begin to sing,
In an English country garden.

Robin, don't forget the robin...
Robin, don't forget the robin!

Lyrics

Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I Love You
Words don't come easy

Words, don't come easy to me
This is the only way for me to say I Love You
Words don't come easy

Well I'm just a music man
Melody's so far my best friend
But my words are coming out wrong and I
I reveal my heart to you and
Hope that you believe it's true cause

Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I love You
Words don't come easy

This is just a simple song
That I've made for you on my own
There's no hidden meaning you know when I
When I say I love you honey
Please believe I really do cause

Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I Love You
Words don't come easy

It isn't easy
Words don't come easy

Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I Love You
Words don't come easy

Don't come easy to me
This is the only way for me to say I Love You
Words don't come easy

Words don't come easy
