Green Dress

Words and music by Tom Maynard

The Boston Folk Festival, my wife, and a new green dress.

Tom Maynard: vocal, guitar; Valerie Thompson: cello

Late summer evening enfolds you
Early falls breezes blow free
I hear you singing
It's soaring and winging
Oh, you in your green dress

How brightly the spirit enfolds you
The light shining clear in your eyes
Your body is swaying
The music is praying
Oh, you in your green dress

Gently the time goes
Soft as a lullabye

A rainbow of light runs between us
It has no beginning or end
Love's light shines around you
It's colors surround you
Oh, you in your green dress

Gently the time goes
Soft as a lullabye

Gently the time goes
Soft as a lullabye
