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
