COLD DAY IN JULY
(Ray Griff)


Ray Price - 1970
Gene Watson - 1979





When I left the trees had no green leaves
Like your love everything had died
I said if I ever come back to you
It'll be a cold day in July

The winter has made way for the springtime
And summer has now said hello
The leaves on the trees are green again
But in my heart it looks like snow

I'm going home on a Greyhound
I wish I could afford to fly
My pride is not as strong as my love for you
And it looks like a cold day in July
