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
