The Three Degrees - Shades Of Green lyrics

rate 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

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
