The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train There to meet me is my mama and papa Down the lane I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry It's good to touch the green green grass of home The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry There's the old oak tree that I used to play on Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry It's so good to touch the green green grass of home Yes, they'll all come to meet me arms outreached smiling sweetly It's so good to touch the green green grass of home Then I awake and look around me at the four gray walls that surround me And I realized that I was only dreaming For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak And again I'll touch the green green grass of home Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree And they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home

The old home town looks the same As I step down from the train, And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa. Down the road I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry, And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on. Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me, At four grey walls that surround me And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming. For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre, Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak. Again I touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to see me In the shade of that old oak tree As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.

The touch of your hand Will let me know You take me in And let me go If not for love Why would we be? How is it done Two into one So easily? We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets Angels never heard We're lifted up by angels You understand Yet never say How every plan Would fade away If not for love Where would you be? Ashes to dust Water to rust Away from me We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets The angels never heard Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Given wings to fly Leave the night behind us Trust the light to find us Even as we rise We're lifted up by angels Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets Angels never heard Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Oh
