Song Lyrics Green Fields of England song

 

Green Fields of England

Verse 1: 

I’ve been around the world and seen a lot of places

But nothing compares to the green fields of England 

Where the sun shines bright and the birds sing sweet 

And the air is fresh and clean

Chorus: 

Oh, the green fields of England 

How I love to see them in the summer 

When the flowers bloom and the grass is green 

And the sky is blue and clear 

Oh, the green fields of England 

How I long to be there in the summer 

With my guitar in my hand and my love by my side 

And nothing else to fear

Verse 2: 

I’ve played a lot of songs and met a lot of people 

But nothing touches me like the green fields of England 

Where the music flows and the stories are told 

And the history is alive

Chorus: 

Oh, the green fields of England 

How I love to hear them in the summer 

When the melodies ring and the words are true 

And the spirit is high and free 

Oh, the green fields of England 

How I long to share them in the summer 

With my friends and my fans and my family too 

And everyone who loves me

Bridge: 

Some may say I’m a dreamer or a wanderer 

But I know where I belong and where I want to be 

It’s in the green fields of England 

Where I feel at home and where I’m happy

Chorus: 

Oh, the green fields of England 

How I love to feel them in the summer 

When the breeze is soft and the warmth is gentle

 And the peace is deep and real 

Oh, the green fields of England 

How I long to return there in the summer 

Where my heart is full and my soul is calm 

And my love is strong and real

Outro:

 Oh, the green fields of England 

Oh, the green fields of England 

Oh, the green fields of England 

Oh, the green fields of England 

So here we are another song about something I do love, and that is the Green fields of England

The fields in early May on a blue sky day, have a color that I have in my travels never seen anywhere else in the world, hence this song about them.

I don't think I have captured that joy and experience of the fields and the green color that they are, perhaps I will have another go at this song to try and get that feeling.

If I do, it will be published on here as version two.

Hols

Been on a week holiday, and I must admit that was very lucky with the weather for this time of year in England, Dorset.

Lots of days with lots of sunshine and temperatures of 18-19 centigrade, the walking was good and the scenery was , well fantastic.

Cold

Now for some reason that I can not fathom it's been cold down here in the South of England for longer than I can remember for the last few years at this time of year why? don't know.

All I do know is at the rate it is going it will have been at 2 centigrade or less during the day for the last week or so, and at night we have had -8 centigrade! which for us is low in this part of England, as I write this the weather forecast is for it to stay cold until this Friday the 9 th of January.

As I have noticed of the last few years I do not fair very well in the cold any more, in fact it gets to be painful, why? not a clue, no one else in my close family have the problem just little old me, so it goes without saying that I do keep a very good watch on the weather at this time of year, and now with my ipod touch it has become all to easy to check the weather.
