David Gates - Greener Days lyrics

As I write this letter

I hope you're feelin' better

Than I am as I sit here

Fightin' back a tear

'Cause my mind keeps shiftin'

Back in time it's driftin'

To the days when you were near

'Cause those were greener days

That we knew

Just me and you

Sharin' the world together

But as they came

They went away

Our days of green turned into grey

So I watched the sunrise

Hopin' maybe your eyes

Will come shinin' down on me

To brighten up my world

Like it once was glowin'

When your face was showin'

Me the way to find our love

Those were greener days

That we had

It's kinda to bad

They couldn't last forever

But we'll go on

Our seperate ways

'Cause our greener days

Has turned into grey

I better close and sign my name

It's gettin' late

But don't forget our chance

To twist the hands of fate

So the greener days

Will return deeper they'll grow

With every spring rain of love

Rainbows will shine

You will be mine

And our greener days

Will never fade away

Yes, the greener days

Will return deeper they'll grow

With every spring rain of love

Rainbows will shine

You will be mine

And our days of green

Will never fade away

They'll never turn to grey

They'll never fade away
