On The Greener Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Send me a dozen long stemmed roses
I'll tell you what I will do
I'll bend them into a crown of thorns
Then send them right back to you
Your love love love
Don't keep me satisfied
Though I've never been there
I know it's always greener
On the greener side
Say you want to give me a run for my money
Here's something I'm gonna admit
It may sound funny, but Romeo honey
I don't want none of your...
My love is like a wishing well
Your love is like a clear blue sky
Sometimes it takes a thunder storm
To fill me when I'm dry
