GREEN WAS THE COLOR

Every spring, new leaves appear
Bring green back into my bay window view
Every spring, the trees renew
Reminding me of time I spent with you

'Cause green was the color of that summer day
Blue in the sky as we watched the clouds burn away
Gold in your hair
Silver in your stare
Green was the color of that summer day

Lying back in the grass
We told our tales beneath those summer skies
We played all day in our backyard
And stayed outside as day faded to night

And green was the color of that summer day
Blue in the sky as we watched the clouds burn away
Gold in your hair
Silver in your stare
Green was the color
Of that summer day

Oh, looking back at plans we made
And risks I always said I'd take
I miss those summer days and summer nights
And colors like this shade of spring
Take us back to that world of green
The tastes, the sights, the smells, the feel
Of moments in our lives

Sitting back I look again
Through my picture window to the world of green
You're far away, but do you think of me
Are you looking out your picture window thinking the same thing

That this green was the color of those summer days
The sky bright blue when we watched the clouds drift away
Gold in our hair
We made quite a pair
We still do, though we're far away
From the green of that summer, of that summer day
