In An Old Dutch Garden Lyrics

Artist: Glenn Miller

In an old Dutch garden by an old Dutch mill,
Where the moon was dreaming on a distant hill,
When a smile danced by it was then that I saw
Heaven in a pair of wooden shoes.
In an old Dutch garden where the tulips grow
That's where I first whispered that I love you so
For my heart was blue till I gave it to
An angel in a pair of wooden shoes.
Then one sad day when summer meets September
I sailed away from a thrill I will remember,
In an old Dutch garden by an old Dutch mill
Every day I pray that you are waiting still
For my heart will yearn until I return
To Heaven in a pair of wooden shoes

Thanks:

I've been looking for the lyrics for some time. Know the melody, but can't quite remember the bridge.

Thanks for the lyrics. We own an Internet Radio Station, KNLDJ (Internet radio Free America)and we program 24/7 Old Time Radio shows from the late 1920's to the mid 1960's (and beyond) and music from the same eras. We also produce two dee jay shows from our studio. We have listeners in over 30 countries. I had just dedicated "In An Old Dutch Garden" to a lady in the Netherlands who wondered if we could find the lyrics for her.
I was in the USAF during the Korean war stationed at Elmendorf, AFB, Alaska (1951-53) and was 17 when I was assigned to be staff announcer and dee jay. My wife and son have all worked in radio and television professionally so KNLDJ is run just like all radio stations. We do not accept commercials nor donations. I will be 80 in April.
Enter KNLDJ in Google and click the link to listen to us. Thanks again.
