Green Mountains and Me - Slaid Cleaves/David Farnsworth

intro: --- (repeat)

Verse 1 
				                                
You're on the other side of the world tonight
			                         
But under the same cold stars
			                            
And tonight I'll dream you right back home
		                        
To this little life of ours

				                             
We'll walk hand in hand through fields of green
		                       
Just like we did last year
			                          
But it's so hard to wake up every day
			                       
And watch as your dreams disappear

Pre Chorus 1
		               
It's quiet here, your little boy's asleep
			             
He looks more like you every day

Chorus 
				                                
Won’t you come back, come back my darlin’
		                         
Each night I pray on bended knee
			                     		                  
Won't you come back to the Green Mountains and me

Follow same pattern for the rest of song

Verse 2 
I see a car winding up the driveway
Up to your parents' place
The old man looks up from his raking
As the color drains from your mama's face

Cryin' softly by the window now
While your daddy shakes the soldiers hands
Their taillights disappear into the woods below
He's frozen in the doorway where he stands

Pre-Chorus 2
In the twilight, in the silent snow
I hear you singing in my ear

Chorus
Won't you come back, come back my darlin’
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Won’t you come back to the Green Mountains and me

Verse 3
The seasons come and the seasons go
We live from day to day
And I lose a little bit of myself
With each tear I wipe away

Pre-Chorus 3
People on the street used to stop and chat
Now they look down and walk on by

Chorus
Won't you come back, come back my darlin’
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Won’t you come back to the Green Mountains and me
