Sophie's Garden

In a lost garden afar from Paris
Only known by its young guardian

Hands playing through the tall grass
And fingers tracing by its nature

Surrounded by pink and red flowers
There stood the young woman, Sophie

Naturally pretty in her white, flowery dress
The wind blowing her long, beautiful hair

Her bare feet touching the soft, tender grass
And her eyes looked at the open, great lands

Soft, pink skies from the sunset
And its yellow rays of the young sun

This brought an eternal youth from the light
And from the mysterious magic of Sophie

Butterfly perched on her delicate finger
Sophie's eyes is filled with wonder

Fly away, young and beautiful butterfly
At least you'll be happy and free!

The pink and red flowers of all kinds
Will forever be protected through Sophie's kindness

Whether filled with happiness or sadness
She will carefully tend by her smiles and tears

May the smiles from Sophie be like the sun
So the pink flowers will sing for her sweet, hopeful memories

And may the tears from Sophie be like the rain
So the red flowers by like the invisible blood from her heartbroken pain

One day, true love will cross her destined life
But this faraway garden of Paris, it's all Sophie will now have

Oh, dear and sweet Sophie...
This lost garden forever be your life!

Even you're its ever only guardian...
Let the flowers of life be your guide!
