 NOTE!  is also
 
 There's the river,  there's the house, and there's the church.
 And there's us years ago.
 Deep in your garden  where the nettle met the rose
 Is where we hide ourselves.
Yes  we were just kids, but you couldn't  tell us that.
 These are  the garden rules,
 That's what  you always said.
 Oh, you will  never know,
 How much I love  you so,
 Oh, you will never  know,
 How much I love  you.
 You would call the garden rules out like commands,
 And we would all obey.
 But you'd stifle giddy laughter as you spoke,
 And puncture the pretend.
 And we would chase our tails until the sun forgot to shine.
 And our parents called our names,
 Until just you and I were left.
 Oh, you will never know,
 How much I love you so,
 Oh you will never know,
 How much I love you.
 From your house  we walk the river,
 to the church  by the silent fields,
 Amongst the lavender  of headstones,
 And the larks  in our Sunday clothes.
 Your father  comes to you as he's looking  at his watch,
 You leave me with a kiss  on my quickly heating cheek.
 Oh, you will never know,
 How much I love you so.
 Oh you will never know,
 How much I love you.
 Oh you will never know,
 How much I love you so,
 Oh, you will never know,
 How much I love you.
 etc. etc. etc.
