GREEN ARE MY MEMORIES
(Jerry L. Johnson)


Marilyn Sellars - 1976


There was a time, not so long ago
We walked these hills together, wrapped in summer's glow
Now the summer's gone, the leaves have all come down
All the green grass has turned to brown

But green are my memories of summers in the sun
All of the happy hours with you
Your hand in mine, your sparkling eyes so full of fun
Green are my memories of you

Now you are gone, summer is no more
Black is the lonely night that waits outside my door
But I'm not alone, I will not be blue
I have my memories of you

But green are my memories of all those summer years
All of the happy hours with you
Your hand in mine in times of laughter, times of tears
Green are my memories of you

There was a time, not so long ago
Green are my memories of you
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm........FADE
