The Grass Keeps Right on Growin'

The grass keeps right on growin' the sun goes right on shinin' there are apples on the apple tree ain't life a funny thing, flowers bloom an' birds still sing an' everything's the same except for me . . .

Everything's the same except for me . . . because, you're gone . . . I tell myself you're really gone How can it be, but there it is, I'm alone once again . . .

An' life goes on without your smile I knew so well the secrets that we used to tell yesterday way back when?

And . . . the grass keeps right on growin' the sun goes right on shinin' the skies are blue the way they used to be ain't life a funny thing, kids play tag an' church bells ring an' everything's the same except for me . . .

Everything's the same except for me . . . 'cause, you're not there . . . I look for you but you're not there I hear your voice, it's just a trick that my mind wants to play . . . How can this world keep turnin' like it used to do? There's no more world, there's no more you, no more words left to say . . .

And . . . the grass keeps right on growin' the sun goes right on shinin' there are apples on the apple tree ain't life a funny thing, flowers bloom an' birds that sing an' everything the same except for me . . .

. . . everything's the same except for me . . .
