Gardenia lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 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 song lyrics
