He: I fell into the ocean When you became my wife I risked it all against the sea To have a better life Marie you're the wide blue sky And men do foolish things You turn kings into beggars And beggars into kings Pretend that you owe me nothing And all the world is green Let's pretend we can bring back the old days again And all the world is green She: Let me lie about it all Call back yesterday We lay down in a shady grove With the yellow buds of May Now the shadows are getting longer Winter's moving in It is colder than I remember That it's ever been Pretend that you owe me nothing And all the world is green Let's pretend we can bring back the old days again And all the world is green She: The face forgives the mirror The worm forgives the plow The questions begs the answer Can you forgive me somehow Maybe when our story's over We'll go where it's always spring The band is playing our song again And all the world is green Pretend that you owe me nothing And all the world is green Let's pretend we can bring back the old days again And all the world is green He: When the moon is yellow silver On the things that summer brings It's a love you'd kill for And all the world is green He is balancing a diamond On a blade of grass The dew will settle on our grave When all the world is green
