Satin Green Shutters
Burgh Chris de Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where your love is, put your heart, guard these moments well,
Where your dreams are, put your hopes, you know they will not fail you,
When the sun rises in the morning, you will wake up and find her yawning,
When the wind blows strong and cold, she'll be with you until you grow old,
Where your love is, put your heart, oh what would you do if your dreams came true?

I would build a lovely house with satin green shutters, it would be lovely,
The most lovely house in the world
And I would sing a lovely song with you in my mind, and you in my eyes,
The most lovely song in the world
I would write it down on the wall, just for you, just for you,
And I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days.

When you're sad and feeling low, you're on your own with nowhere to go,
Make believe that she is gone, play your guitar and write a song for her,
Write down the words about how you cried when you woke up weeping,
'cause you thought that she had died, and you heard her breathing,
Through your pain and you held her close and cried all over again,
Where your love is, put your heart, oh what would you do if your dreams came true?

And inside my lovely house with satin green shutters, there would be children,
The most lovely children in the world
And even when the skies are grey, we would be happy, for we have love,
The most lovely love in the world




I would write it down on the wind, just for you, just for you,
And I would hold you for the rest of my days.

I'd forgotten how much I loved this song and how it reminded me of the feelings I loved and valued back then. Happy, but bitter-sweet memories.

B Adams

Best Moves was the first album I bought of his. Fantastic album!

I was instantly hooked. Such passion and emotional lyrics. His talent for singing is unparalleled. He has such an amazing sound...

Klinger Neves

It's indeed a beautiful song. Actually from the album "Far Beyond These Castle Walls" (1975). 

Thanks for the lyrics.

Deirdre O'Flaherty

I haven't heard this beautiful song since I was 12... Thank you so much. I'm 54 now and it's just as beautiful as it was when I 12yr old. X

Patricia Ryan

Same here, I thought I had forgotten it until I heard it yesterday and burst into tears, I don’t know why, it just brought me back to all the emotions a 12 year old girl goes through, I bought every single tape he made and still know all the words of every song ❤️❤️

Mark Lewis
