Lyrics

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 . .
