Splendor In The Grass

The first love I ever had, the first time I went mad

The first time I left home, the first time I felt alone

The first time my heart was hurt, the first thing I did wrong

If I had one wish I’d ask to relieve splendor in the grass



The first time I was ever kissed, the very first person I did miss

the first time I said goodbye, the first time I felt I’d die

the first time I felt shame, the first time I was to blame

If I had one wish I’d ask to relieve splendor in the grass



The first time I did see the wonder of the sea

The first time I did hold a baby close to me

The first I held near, the first time I felt tears

If I had one wish I’d ask to relieve splendor in the grass
