Heart of Purest Gold

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqke_5Yc1Gs&t=12s
He planted baby seeds along the fence 
and when summer arrived with her sunny face 
dad was rewarded with beautiful morning glories,  
that was his recompense;
I was his shadow girl I followed him everywhere 
so when he whispered in my ear, come morning they will bloom  
I replied with a smile,  
I will, I will dad, I'll catch their glorious bloom, I will 
at 6 am I awoke to find the patient sun  
dangling in a fresh born sky, above the purple morning glories 
yesterday a closed up bud, today an open faced  flower 
dad was right, one must be quick to catch the hour 
Up to heaven now he's gone but oh how summers shone 
for dad and I when I was six, back in 1966 
he raised me like the flowers, with love and tender care         
he was an Italian gardener, with a heart of  purest gold.
