I LEAVE MY HEART IN AN ENGLISH GARDEN
From British musical show ‘Dear Miss Phoebe’ 1950
(Davis / Hassel)
Edmund Hockridge


Breezes in the long grass ruffling my hair
Hollyhock and bluebell scenting the air
Nothing in the world can ever be
Such a sweet memory
Nothing in the world was ever so fair

*I leave my heart in an English garden
Safe where the elm and the oak stand by
Though the years rise and roll away
Still shall those watchmen stay
Bold in the blue of an English sky*

^I leave my dreams in an English garden
Safe where the breezes of England blow
When the highways are dark and drear
I know there’s sunshine here
Bright where the roses of England grow^^

(Choir repeats from * to *)
(EH then repeats from ^ to ^^)
