Gardenia
I didn't mean to make you cry
Dry your eyes
Try on a smile for size
My sweet Gardenia
I could not have done much less
To earn my rest on your sweet breast
Time and time again, darlin
You overlooked my stubbornness
Though I felt you pull away
I didn't think my luck would change
The clouds can only get so dark
Before a big hard rain
Gardenia
I didn't mean to make you cry
Dry your eyes
Try on a smile for size
My sweet Gardenia
I know I have hurt your heart
There's prob'ly no good place to start
There's nothing to defend, darlin'
We'll never reignite our spark
The fact that I was so untrue
Will never change my love for you
You'll always be the sweetest flower
And I'll be a fool
Gardenia
I didn't mean to make you cry
Dry your eyes
Try on a smile for size
My sweet Gardenia
