Will You Help Me See the Green, Green Grass Again

Will You Help Me See The Green, Green Grass Again Old man said, I've a peso and one old penny Lord help me, my sad thoughts are far too many Will you help me see the green, green grass again Join me this new morn, as a long lost and dear friend? Old man said, yesterday I spent my last dollar I'm just a poor boy, uneducated- not a scholar But my heart sees this light, its gleaming beauty I feel hope and I know truth and love is my duty. Old man said, Lord thank you, I can see now Fields are fertile and I've got a brand new plow I hold on, hold on tightly, more love is coming Life is beautiful and new peace is a'humming. Old man said, I've a peso and one old penny Lord help me, my sad thoughts are far too many Will you help me see the green, green grass again Join me this new morn, as a long lost and dear friend? R.J. Lindley, March 26th , 1977 Rhyme/lyric-- Note- Last month , I talked to my good and dear friend Yesterday, that old man passed away And in this world came a batch of sorrows And I see dark a'laughing at our empty tomorrows…..
