The Grass Keeps Right On Growin' Lyrics - Perry Como

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 . . .
