Greenfields (1960) - THE BROTHERS FOUR - Lyrics

I ♥ Oldies
Greenfields (1960) - THE BROTHERS FOUR - Lyrics
Once there were greenfields kissed by the sun;
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run;
Once there was blue sky with white clouds high above;
Once they were part of an everlasting love.
We were the lovers who strolled through greenfields.
Greenfields are gone now, parched by the sun;
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run;
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart;
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart.
Where are the greenfields that we used to roam?

My father used to sing this song with his beautiful baritone voice. I miss him. Feels like he's beside me.

At soon to be 70, i grew up enjoying this song when i was such a youngster. Fond memories..

[rckint]

The songs awakened memories when I was a teenager. Now I am 74. I am glad I lived life then.

How can something be so sad, haunting and beautiful at the same time 🌳 ☁ 🌴🌿

[justme]

One of the saddest songs ever written, in my opinion. Literally describes what happened to our beautiful countrysides and it's people of long ago. So so sad....

[ljiljanasamardzic]

Thanks for one of the most beautiful songs ever! I haven't heart it for decades... And I used to listen to it when I was a child... It's so touching to hear it again. ❤

My Wife and I would walk through the woods here. Now I cry as she died of a heart attack 20 years ago at 48. Heart problem ran on her Father's side of her family.

Jamais plus les prairies ne seront aussi vertes que celles de notre jeunesse ni le ciel aussi bleu ni le soleil aussi lumineux !

[MariaEvaParagas]

this is my father's favorite song too..he used to sing this accompanied by his guitar..I miss him instantly now..I suddenly remember this song and look for it in youtube.

I was thirteen, lived in a small village in Bali, when I found this treasure: an old cassette in my elder brother's drawer. & 30 years later, the memories and emotions bring me back to the green rice field and coconut palms 9000 miles from where am I now..

[charlotterijnveld]

Ik hoorde dit nummer gisteren voor het eerst tijdens de uitvaart van de vader van een dierbare vriend. Het zit nu in mijn hart, net als de vriend en zijn familie ❤️

[ronmortimer]

I haven't heard this song in decades and decades. It's not one the radio stations play when they play 'oldies'. This was one of my 'growing up songs' - I would have been 11 in 1960.. Really enjoyed listening to it again.
