Once In A Garden
Blackmore's Night Lyrics

Once in a garden where dreams could be found
There was a time when there was a garden full of dreams and endless possibilities

Once children's laughter was the only sound
Back then, the only sound you would hear in that garden was the laugher of innocent children

No worries troubles were few
In that place, worries were nonexistent, and troubles were minimal

Once in garden where innocence rang pure and true
That garden was a place where innocence thrived and remained untainted

Once on a hilltop beneath the old tree
There was a time when I sat on a hilltop under an old and wise tree

Swings made of tires made us feel so free
Those swings, made of tires, gave us a sense of freedom and joy

The butterflies kissed our hair
Butterflies would often land on our heads, as if to give us a gentle kiss

Once on a hilltop I still see us right there
Even now, I can still picture us on that hilltop, enjoying our carefree moments

Hours of make believe playing in the sun
We would spend hours pretending and playing in the warm rays of the sun

Dreaming with wonder, "What would we become?"
As we played, we would often dream about what our future held, wondering what we would become when we grew up

My best friend cold in my hand
I would hold the hand of my closest friend, sharing our playful adventures together

We'd run by the sea through castles of sand
We would run along the seaside, building castles with sand and feeling utterly carefree

Once in a forest just like Robin Hood
At one point, we found ourselves in a forest, feeling like we were part of the legendary tale of Robin Hood

Flowers were our playmates we only saw good
In that place, even flowers were our playmates, and we only saw the good in everything and everyone

In everything be it right or wrong
Whether right or wrong, we saw the good in everything we experienced in that magical garden

Once in a garden I still can hear our song
Even now, I can still hear the carefree and joyous song that we would sing in that garden

Can you hear our song?
Can you, too, hear the song of innocence and freedom that we sang in that magical garden?

Can you hear our song?
Can you, too, hear the song of innocence and freedom that we sang in that magical garden?
