Grass Is Blue

I am ready
Oh, my children
When jesus knocks at my door
I'll be there come morning
Don't weep for me
I'll be with my lord
There's my bible on the table
Read it to me once more
I can hear god's heavenly angels
Singing me on through heaven's door

Hallelujah lord
I am ready
No more sorrow
Hallelujah, yes
I am ready, i am ready
I am ready to go

Oh, hosanna
Take my hand now
Lead me to the promised land now
I am ready, i am ready
Hallelujah, i am ready to go
Oh, hosanna
I am ready to go
I can hear god's heavenly angels
Singing me on through heaven's door
Singing me on through heaven's door
And i am ready

Tonight my heart is sad and weary
Wonderin' if i'm wrong or right
I dream about you though you've left me
I wonder where you are tonight
Chorus:

The rain is cold and slowly fallin'
Upon my window pane tonight
And though you're love was even colder
I wonder where you are tonight

It's spring, the birds are gaily singing
The trees are blossoming so sweet
No other love was quite so happy
No other love was so complete

Repeat chorus

Then came the dawn the day you left me
I tried to smile with all my might
But you could see the pain within me
It still lingers in my heart tonight

Oh, the rain is cold and slowly fallin'
Upon my window pane tonight
And though you're love is even colder
I wonder where you are tonight

At my door the leaves are fallin'
A cold wild wind will come
Sweet hearts walked by together
And i still miss someone
I go out to a party
And look for a little fun
But i find a darkened corner
Cause i still miss someone

Chorus:

Oh i never got over those blue eyes
I see them everywhere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

Repeat chorus

And i wonder if he's sorry
For leaving what we begun
Guess there's someone for me somewhere
Aw, but i still miss somone

I just found out today
The little game you play
While i been sleepin' all my life away
You been steppin' so they say
Between midnight and day
So i'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on
Chorus:

From now on, all night long
You won't have a chance
To treat your momma wrong
You been steppin' so they say
Between midnight and day
So i'm gonna sleep with one eye open from now on

There's a honky-tonk down the road
Just about a mile or so
And i understand that's where you spend your time
Baby, i got news for you
Your little game is through
Yeah, from now on baby
You better tow the line

Repeat chorus

You thought you were bein' smart
Breaking my little heart
And leavin' me to spend my time alone
Well you'll find out today
It just don't work that way
You've started a little game that two can play

From now on, all night long
You won't have a chance
To treat your momma wrong
You been steppin' so they say
Between midnight and day
But you better sleep with one eye open from now on
Yeah an' i'm gonna sleep with eye open from now on

Raindrops tumble to the ground
Making puddles all around
Drops of rain that look like tears
Fall on my window pane
Raindrops seem to harmonize
With teardrops falling from my eyes
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain

Steady as the rain they fall
Tears that just won't dry at all
Tears that cannot wash away the pain
Sometimes without knowing it
I touch my face and find it wet
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain

I can't face the fact that
I am not important in your life
Once you lived for rollin' me
And then your feelings changed
There's just no gettin' over you
I try so hard, but it's no use
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain

Raindrops just keep falling down
Beatin' out their rhythmic sounds
Dancin' as they play their sweet refrain
Memories of you cloud my mind
Cloud my eyes and i start cryin'
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
As steady as the rain

Steady as the rain they fall
Tears that just won't dry at all
Tears that just won't wash away the pain
Memories of you cloud my mind
Cloud my eyes and i start cryin'
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
As steady as the rain

Just a few old memories
Slipped in through my door
Though i thought i had closed it
So tightly before
I can't understand it
Why it should bother my mind
For it all belongs to another place and time
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well i'm surprised they're still left
Just a few old love letters
With the edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down

Just a few old memories
Going way back in time
Well i can hardly remember
I don't know why i'm cryin'
I can't understand it
Well i'm surprised myself
First thing tomorrow morning
I'll clean off that shelf

Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well i'm surprised that they're left
Just a few old love letters
With their edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down

I can still see that lonesome road stretched out before me
The road that led me out of his life
I can still feel the tears he cried on my shoulder
The day that i told him good-bye
I never should'a left him
Never should'a gone
Oh what a crazy fool i've been

Chorus:

Will he be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
And will he take me back again

2nd chorus:

He will be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died
He will be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
Or will i find that this time
I'll be the one to cry

Shadows from the trees
Shade the path that i am walkin'
As i make my way back up that windy road again
The smell of mountain laurel fills the air with sweet perfume
My heart beats faster as i near my journey's end

I wonder if he missed me
Wonder if he wants me
I wonder does he love me still

Will he be waiting for me
He will be, won't he
Oh how i hope he will

Repeat 2nd chorus twice
