The Greenest Grass
Joshua Radin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could barely breathe
And day broke when the sun rose
Lighting up your face
I am a lucky man
To recognize your grace
When I woke this morning next to you
And then you said
I know I'll never find another like you,
Where I'm going
I know I'll never find another like you,
Where the winds are blowin'
So when I'm far away from here
I'm leaving you this song
And when you feel you miss me
You can always sing along
I am a lucky man
To recognize your grace
When I woke this morning next to you
I said baby this must be the place
And then you said
I know I'll never find another like you,
Where I'm going
I know I'll never find another like you
Where the winds are blowin'
You're the greenest grass growin'
You've got this way of saying things on my mind
Before I know 'em
I've got these feelings and I'm coming to find
I'm ready to show 'em
'Cause I know I'll never find another like you
Where I'm going
I know I'll never find another like you
Where the winds are blowin'
You're the greenest grass growin'
I said I know I'll never find another like you
Where I'm going
I know I'll never find another like you
Where the winds are blowin'
You're the greenest grass growin'
The lyrics to Joshua Radin's song The Greenest Grass talks about a man who has found someone he sees as special and unique, and who he cherishes deeply. The line "Time stopped when I saw you, I could barely breathe" expresses the feeling of being completely taken by someone's presence. It's a moment where everything else fades away, and only the person in front of you is seen. The lyrics convey how he recognizes his good fortune in finding someone like her and how being close to her makes him appreciate his life even more.
The chorus, "I know I'll never find another like you, Where I'm going I know I'll never find another like you, Where the winds are blowin', You're the greenest grass growin'" underlines the idea that the person he's talking about is one of a kind. He acknowledges that he's leaving her but tells her that he's putting his feelings for her into this song, so she can always sing along and feel like he's there. It's a heartfelt note of affection that not only represents his love but also demonstrates his appreciation for her in his life.
In conclusion, the lyrics of The Greenest Grass describe a very intimate relationship between two people who share deep feelings of love and admiration for each other. The song captures the moment where the man realizes the importance of the person that stands before him, and how lucky he is to have her in his life. It's a sweet and thoughtful tribute that symbolizes the value of human connections and the comfort of love.

Time stopped when I saw you
I was so captivated by you that everything else around me seemed to stop
I could barely breathe
You took my breath away, I was so astonished by you
And day broke when the sun rose
Seeing you made the day feel like it was starting anew
Lighting up your face
The way the sun hit your face made you look even more beautiful
I am a lucky man
I feel immensely fortunate to have you in my life
To recognize your grace
I understand and appreciate how wonderful you are
When I woke this morning next to you
Waking up next to you is the best feeling in the world
I said baby this must be the place
Being with you feels like the right place for me
And then you said
You responded to me with these words
I know I'll never find another like you, Where I'm going
I realize that no matter where I go, I won't find someone as special as you
I know I'll never find another like you, Where the winds are blowin'
Even if I travel far and wide, I know I won't find someone like you
So when I'm far away from here
In the future, if I am away from you for some time
I'm leaving you this song
I wrote this song for you so that you'll always remember me and know how I feel
And when you feel you miss me
If there comes a time when you feel lonely and miss me
You can always sing along
You can sing this song to remember all of the good times we shared
You've got this way of saying things on my mind
You seem to know what I'm thinking before I say it
Before I know 'em
You always seem to be a step ahead of me
I've got these feelings and I'm coming to find
I'm starting to realize how much I care for you
I'm ready to show 'em
I want to express my feelings and emotions to you
You're the greenest grass growin'
You are the most wonderful and rare thing in my life
I said I know I'll never find another like you
I am certain that there is no one else like you
You're the greenest grass growin'
You are the best thing in my life

Im in love with this song. Brings out so many emotions. Josh is such a great talented humble artist and he's from my hometown. He's hands down my favorite singer songwriter artist.
