Joan Baez - The Green Green Grass Of Home

Fonte: (www.sing365.com)

The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,

And there to meet me is my Mama and my Papa.

Down the lane I look and there comes Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry,

And there's the old oak tree that I used to play on.

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I awake and look around me, to the cold clay wall that surround me

Then I realize that I was only dreaming.

There's a guard and sad old padre

Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.

Again I touch the green, green grass of home.

Yes, we'll all be together in the shade of the old oak tree

when we meet beneath the green, green grass of home.

Bee Gees - I Started A Joke

Fonte: www.elyrics.net

I started a joke

Which started the whole world crying

But I didn't see

That the joke was on me, oh no

I started to cry

Which started the whole world laughing

Oh, if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

I looked at the skies

Running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Hurting my head from things that I'd said

Till I finally died

Which started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

I looked at the skies

Running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed

Hurting my head from things that I'd said

Till I finally died

Which started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen, oh yeah

That the joke was on me, oh no

That the joke was on me, ohh
