We don’t have to be together We could even be a thousand miles apart This, I promise you forever I’ll always be the light that gets you out the dark
No matter the time No matter the place There’s nothing in this world That could stand in my way
I’ll come running wherever you are My love for you ain’t never gonna change I’ll come running wherever you are Whenever you call Girl, whenever you call my name
I never said it would be easy But your lovin’ is a love worth fighting for And girl, I’ll fight for your heart all night and all day Forever and more
No matter the time No matter the place There’s nothing in this world That could stand in my way
I’ll come running wherever you are My love for you ain’t never gonna change I’ll come running wherever you are Whenever you call Girl, whenever you call my name
You don’t have to worry No, no, no, no, no I’ll be there in a hurry Gonna catch you if you fall Promise Imma give my all Let me be, Let me be Let me be the one that you call
I’ll come running wherever you are My love for you ain’t never gonna change I’ll come running wherever you are Whenever you call Girl, whenever you call my name Whenever you call my name
1966年、アメリカのトムジョーンズ(Tom Jones)が歌った、グリーングリーングラスオブホーム(Green Green Grass of Home)。日本では、思い出のグリーングラスというタイトルで歌われています。元々は、ジョニーダレルが録音した曲で、ボビーベア(Bobby Bar)と、ジェリールイス(Jerry Lewis)が歌ったものです。 ノスタルジックな光景が浮かぶ名曲ですが、幸せな思い出の場面とは対照的な、後半の歌詞には言葉を失いそうになります。 ★It's good to touch the green, green grass of home の始まりの It's が（ズィッツ）に聞こえるのは、前の行の最後のcherriesの語尾のズとつながって聞こえるためです。 また、and がアンやエンに聞こえるなど、微妙な音の揺れについてはご容赦下さい。
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 the 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
