Shades of green Was the last thing that you seen As you left your hungry child And kissed him on his brow And you walked away, and suddenly waved goodbye You never gonna kiss his lips or hold his hand (never, never, never, never gonna) You never gonna see him grow up to becoming a man You wanna show and tell the world of what you done Although you know you could provide for your son Although you know you did just what you have to do But doing what you did is still bothers you Sometimes that passes this life has moved along Never-ending memories still lingers on On and on, on and on Shades of green Never leave your restless dreams You can hear your baby cries You can see him in the night Wrapped in green and you left him far behind You never gonna see him play or roam about (never, never, never, never gonna) You never gonna hear him "mama" ringing out (mama, mama) Though your thoughts keep coming to your mind each day You punish yourself and then you kneel and pray Oh, I wish if you were me and I were you, I can mend the hurt that you were going through Take my hand and uncover your eyes to what you see Let's make a brand new life for you and me Oh, you and me, you and me Shades of green Was the last thing that you seen As you left your hungry child And kissed him on his brow And you walked away, and suddenly waved goodbye Shades of grees Never leave your restless dreams You can hear your baby cries You can see him in the night Wrapped in green and you left him far behind
