Julie Andrews (1996)
One More Time Around the Garden



One More Walk Around the Garden
(Carmelina, The Musical, 1979)

Music: Burton Lane
Words: Alan Jay Lerner

That old April yearning
Once more is returning
And I have a longing to wander

The leaves may be falling
But April is calling
And the primroses is beckoned me yonder

For one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more

For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate

That old urge is saying
It's time to go straying
Where no one but April can find me

To try and recover
The heart of a lover
That I left lying somewhere behind me

Just one more walk around the garden
One more stroll along the shore
One more memory I can dream upon
Until I dream no more

For one more time perhaps the dawn will wait
And one more prayer it's not too late
To gather one more rose
Before I say goodbye and close the garden gate

One more rose before I close the garden gate

Julie celebrates her 71st birthday today.

This is a poignant song indeed. But one takes me back to many of her accomplishments.
