Liner Notes

"In the Garden of Thy Heart" is a medieval-inspired ballad that captures the essence of courtly love through simple yet evocative melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Drawing inspiration from the troubadour and trouvère traditions of the 12th to 14th centuries, this song explores themes of adoration, devotion, and eternal love, with a melodic structure that is both timeless and deeply rooted in historical music. The song is designed to evoke the emotional intensity and lyrical beauty of medieval ballads, making it perfect for those who appreciate the fusion of history and music.
I was asked to create a historical song from this time frame.

Author/Lyricist: Carl Crosby

Lyrics

Verse 1:
In the garden of thy heart, where roses bloom so fair,
There lies a secret longing, beyond the world’s despair.
With gentle winds that whisper, thy name upon the breeze,
I sing my love eternal, beneath the ancient trees.

Chorus:
O fair maiden, light of dawn,
In thee, my soul is drawn.
By moon’s soft glow and stars above,
I pledge to thee my endless love.

Verse 2:
The lark doth sing at morning, a melody so pure,
Yet none can match the sweetness, thy voice doth so ensure.
With every note, my spirit, doth rise to meet the skies,
For in thine eyes, my dearest, the sun forever lies.

Chorus:
O fair maiden, light of dawn,
In thee, my soul is drawn.
By moon’s soft glow and stars above,
I pledge to thee my endless love.

Bridge:
Let the rivers flow with grace, and mountains kiss the sky,
For love like ours eternal, shall never fade or die.
In every breath, I find thee, in every song I sing,
Thy love, my gentle lady, is woven in my being.

Chorus:
O fair maiden, light of dawn,
In thee, my soul is drawn.
By moon’s soft glow and stars above,
I pledge to thee my endless love.

Outro:
So let the world remember, this tale of love so true,
In the garden of thy heart, where all my dreams are you.
