| Shades of green
|
| Was the last thing that you seen
|
| As you left your hungry child
|
| And kissed him on his brow
|
| And you walked away, and suddenly waved goodbye
|
| You never gonna kiss his lips or hold his hand
|
| (Never, never, never, never gonna)
|
| You never gonna see him grow up to becoming a man
|
| You wanna show and tell the world of what you done
|
| Although you know you could provide for your son
|
| Although you know you did just what you have to do
|
| But doing what you did is still bothers you
|
| Sometimes that passes this life has moved along
|
| Never-ending memories still lingers on
|
| On and on, on and on
|
| Shades of green
|
| Never leave your restless dreams
|
| You can hear your baby cries
|
| You can see him in the night
|
| Wrapped in green and you left him far behind
|
| You never gonna see him play or roam about
|
| (Never, never, never, never gonna)
|
| You never gonna hear him «mama"ringing out
|
| (Mama, mama)
|
| Though your thoughts keep coming to your mind each day
|
| You punish yourself and then you kneel and pray
|
| Oh, I wish if you were me and I were you,
|
| I can mend the hurt that you were going through
|
| Take my hand and uncover your eyes to what you see
|
| Let’s make a brand new life for you and me
|
| Oh, you and me, you and me
|
| Shades of green
|
| Was the last thing that you seen
|
| As you left your hungry child
|
| And kissed him on his brow
|
| And you walked away, and suddenly waved goodbye
|
| Shades of grees
|
| Never leave your restless dreams
|
| You can hear your baby cries
|
| You can see him in the night
|
| Wrapped in green and you left him far behind |
