Shades of Green - The Three Degrees

作曲：Edith Wayne/Ronald Dunbar

Shades of green

Was the last thing that you seen

As you left your hungry child

And kissed him on his brow

Has you walked away and suddenly waved goodbye

Never gonna kiss his lips or hold hand

Never never never never gonna

You never gonna see him grow up becoming man

Oh baby

You wanna show and tell the world of what you done

Although you know you could provide for your son

Although you know you did just what you have to do

But doing what you did is still bothers you

Sometimes that passes life has moved along

Never ending memories still lingers on

On and on on and on

Shades of green

Never leave your restless dreams

You can hear your baby be cry

You can see him in the night

Wrapped in green and you left him far behind

Never gonna see him play or roam about

Never never never never gonna

You never gonna hear him mama ringing out

Mama mama

Though your thoughts it's coming to your mind each day

You punish yourself and then you kneel and pray

Oh I wish then you were me and I were you

I can play this hurt that you were going through

Take my hand and cage mind to what you see

Let's make a brand new life for you and me

Oh you and me you and me

Shades of green

Was the last thing that you seen

As you left your hungry child

And kissed him on his brow

And you walked away and suddenly waved goodbye

Shades of green

Never leave your restless dreams

You can hear your baby be cry

You can see him in the night

Wrapped in green and you left him far behind
