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 . . .Words and Music by Gloria Shayne
