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…..
