Ever since I was a child
I've turned it over in my mind
I sang by the piano
Tore my yellow dress and
Cried, and cried, and cried
On this champagne-drunken home
Against the current
Everybody, see, I love him
Cause it's a feeling that you get
When the afternoon is set
On the bridge into the city
Just give me the green light
Just give me the green light
Now there's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I'll sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Crying, crying, crying
Over the love of you
Now there's green light in my eyes
And my lover on my mind
And I'll sing from the piano
Tear my yellow dress and
Crying, crying, crying
I don't want to see what I've seen
To undo what has been done
Turn off all the lights
Let the morning come
There's music from your house
There're dancers on the lawn
Surround it
You will surround it
Because you're a hard soul to save
With an ocean in my way
But I'll get around it
Just give me the green light
Just give me the green light
