Gardenia lyrics

(Crystal Bernard/David Rhyne)

A million dollar face
So ivory and fair
That launched a thousand ships
Danced with Fred Astaire
Lusted for her dreams
So passionate and wild
So talented it seemed
Everybody wants to be a Gardenia
So beautiful and delicate to touch
Something bout the way we loved Gardenia

As the years went by
Her beauty didn t fade
Movies didn t come
She felt so betrayed because
The more she had to give
The less they want to buy
I guess she outlived
Her moment in the sun to be Gardenia
So beautiful and delicate to touch
Something bout the way we loved Gardenia
Hadn t seen her for sometime
And I apologized
I said I d give my youth to you
For the wisdom in your eyes
I wish I d been there every day
To take good care of you
She said Baby, don t you cry
I knew you d come in time to see Gardenia
And with her fragile hand she said good-bye
Something bout the way we loved Gardenia
