chorus 1 |
There was a time when the desert
was in bloom |
|
Moonlight shone on Apache
Plume |
|
We fell in love beneath the strawberry
moon |
|
There was a time when the desert
was in bloom |
|
|
1. |
Hand in hand, we picked a careful
way |
|
Through prickly pear and yellow
blossom sage |
|
You kissed me there, underneath
the laughing stars |
|
And a wonderland of sand and stone
was ours |
|
|

2. |
The summer sun grew too hot to
bear |
|
I closed my eyes to protect them
from the glare |
|
The blossoms died, vanished in
the shifting sands |
|
Like the love you gave me vanished
from my hands |
|
|
chorus 2 |
There was a time when the desert
was in bloom |
|
Moonlight shone on Apache
Plume |
|
The cactus wren sings a mournful
tune |
|
There was a time when the desert
was in bloom |
|
