[Verse 1]
You would lie by my side on the grass of the river bank
Looking up at the sky as I whispered your name
And your hair, all untied, on the green of the river bank
Almost looked through my eye like a river of flame
[Chorus]
Now the green years are gone
And they'll never return again
Where the innocent kiss
And the easy, young tears
Yes, the green years are gone
Summer scents will not burn again
Now the winter winds ease
With the sounds of our fears
Oh, how much we shall miss
Those lovely green years
[Verse 2]
You would hold up your things to the wing of the summertime
Unaware that you stirred up a storm in my heart
I remember the grace of that long ago summertime
With a look and a word, we then clasp hands and part
[Chorus]
Now the green years are gone
And they'll never return again
Where the innocent kiss
And the easy, young tears
Yes, the green years are gone
Summer scents will not burn again
Now the winter winds ease
With the sounds of our fears
Oh, how much we shall miss
Those lovely green years
You would lie by my side on the grass of the river bank
Looking up at the sky as I whispered your name
And your hair, all untied, on the green of the river bank
Almost looked through my eye like a river of flame
[Chorus]
Now the green years are gone
And they'll never return again
Where the innocent kiss
And the easy, young tears
Yes, the green years are gone
Summer scents will not burn again
Now the winter winds ease
With the sounds of our fears
Oh, how much we shall miss
Those lovely green years
[Verse 2]
You would hold up your things to the wing of the summertime
Unaware that you stirred up a storm in my heart
I remember the grace of that long ago summertime
With a look and a word, we then clasp hands and part
[Chorus]
Now the green years are gone
And they'll never return again
Where the innocent kiss
And the easy, young tears
Yes, the green years are gone
Summer scents will not burn again
Now the winter winds ease
With the sounds of our fears
Oh, how much we shall miss
Those lovely green years
