Lyrics
We found a rosebush. Our place was underneath.
We found a garden right beneath our bare feet.
You tried to send a kiss my way, but I was shy.
I let it slip away.
We had it all... the beauty of love around us.
We let it fall, as bright as it was, like stardust.
We'll find a sandbox with our names carved in it.
We'll find a playground where we think our garden ends.
You tried to send a kiss my way, but I was shy.
I let it slip away.
We had it all... the beauty of love around us.
We let it fall, as bright as it was, like stardust.
Like stardust, like stardust.
