Thorn Tree in the Garden

There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean
And I hate to hurt your feelings, but it's not the way it seems
'Cause I miss her

She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known
And no one ever shared more love than we've known
And I miss her

But it all seems so strange to see
She'd never turn her back on me
And leave without a last goodbye
And if she winds up walking the streets
Loving every other man she meets
Who'll be the one to answer why?
Lord, I hope it's not me
Oh it's not me

And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand
And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand
But I miss that girl, oh lord
I still miss that girl

Maybe someday soon, somewhere
