Abandoned Garden (Album Version)

In your abandoned garden sunlight still prevails:

The jasmine climbs the trellis fragrantly the

Jacaranda ultravioletly sways

The blossom each of them by your hand planted

Will even if I tell them of your sudden

Disappearance from us

Not believe the tale

Though the samba has ended I know in the sound

Of your voice your piano your flute you are found

And the music within you continues to flow

Sadly lost Antonio

You were my inspiration my hero my friend;

On the highway of time will I meet you again

If the heart ever heals does the scar always show

For the lost Antonio

For the lost Antonio

In your abandoned garden beauty is unchanged:

The hummingbird still hovers for the scent the

Frangipane so seductively displays

Camellias each of them by your hand planted

The sadness of your sudden disappearance still

Unknown to them

Await the kiss of rain

Though the samba has ended I know in the sound

Of your voice your piano your flute you are found

And the music within you continues to flow

Sadly lost Antonio

You were my inspiration my hero my friend;

On the highway of time will I meet you again

If the heart ever heals does the scar always show

For the lost Antonio

For the lost Antonio
