Shades Of Green Lyrics

Shades of green

Was the last thing that you'd seen

As you left your hungry child

And kissed him on his brow

As you walked away

And sadly waved goodbye

Never gonna kiss his lips or hold his hand

Never gonna see him grow up, become a man

You want to shout and tell the world of what you've done

Although you know you couldn't provide for your son

Now you know you did just what you had to do

But doing what you did still bothers you

But time has passed and life has moved along

Neverending memories still linger on

On and on

Shades of green

Never leave your restless dreams

You can hear your baby cry

You can see him in the night

All wrapped in green as you left him far behind

Never gonna see him play or run about

Never gonna hear 'momma' ringing out

As the thought keeps tumblin' through your mind each day

You punish yourself, you bend, you kneel and pray

Oh how I wish you were me and I were you

So I could bear this hurt you're goin' through

Take my hand and close your mind to what you see

Let's make a brand new life for you and me

You and me

Shades of green

Was the last thing that you'd seen

As you left your hungry child

And kissed him on his brow

As you walked away

And sadly waved goodbye

Shades of green

Never leave your restless dreams

You can hear your baby cry

You can see him in the night

All wrapped in green as you left him far behind
