lyrics

When I was a child filled up with dreams
Heart got so big it burst at the seams
I had a glow like you've never seen
But like any child I was green

When I got some time under my belt
Every night I dreamt of great wealth
Silver and gold all for myself
I was still green but I couldn't tell

As green as a pasture green like the pines
Green ever after sweet and sublime
Emeralds and clovers valleys and streams
Make this old soul the same shade of green

When this old body has run out of steam
And I close my eyes to all that I've seen
They'll dig a hole for all but my dreams
I'll make the grass grow bright and green
