Green Green Grass Of Home Lyrics - Daytime Friends - Kenny Rogers

The old hometown looks the same 

as I step down from the train 

And there to meet me is my mama and papa 

And down the road I look and there runs Mary 

her golden lips like cherries 

It's good to touch the green green grass of home. 

Yes they've all come to meet me 

arms reaching smiling sweetly 

It's so good to touch the green green grass of home.

The old house is still standing 

though the paint is cracked and dry 

And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on 

down the lane I'd walk with my sweet Mary 

her golden lips like cherries 

It's good to touch the green green grass of home. 

Yes they've all come ... 

Then I awake and look around me 

at the gray walls that surround me 

And I realized that I was only dreaming 

For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre 

arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak again 

I'll touch the green green grass of home.

Yes they'll all come to see me i 

n the shade of that old oak tree 

As they lay me neath the green green grass of home.
