Greener Days

(album: Hot Cold & Custard - 1968)

As I write this letter
I hope you're feeling better
Than I am as I sit here
Fighting back a tear
'Cause my mind keeps shifting
Back in time it's drifting
To the days when you were near

Those were greener days that we knew
Just me and you
Sharing the world together
But as they came
They went away
And our days of green
Turned into grey

So I watch the sunrise
Hoping maybe your eyes
Will be shining down on me
To brighten up my world
Like it once was glowing
When your face was showing
Me the way to find our love

And those greener days
That we had
It's kinda too bad
They didn't last forever

But we'll go on
Our separate ways
'Cause our greener days
Turned into grey

I better close and sign my name
It's getting late
But don't forget
Our chance to twist the hands of fate

So the greener days will return
Deeper they'll grow with every spring rain of love
Rainbows will shine
You will be mine

And our days of green
Never turn to grey
They'll never fade away
They'll never turn to grey
