Lyrics
Twenty years since the old front door Twenty years since the quarrel and the war I saw your car at the corner light It turned to green and I held on tight Twenty years and one green light You walked right up and the world was right We said no words for a minute or two Then I said, My friend, look at you Twenty years and one green light Sing it loud and sing it bright Whatever we lost, we found tonight Twenty years and one green light You still have that crooked grin You still laugh with your whole self in We sat down on the station stair And talked like no time had been there Twenty years and one green light You walked right up and the world was right We said no words for a minute or two Then I said, My friend, look at you Twenty years and one green light Sing it loud and sing it bright Whatever we lost, we found tonight Twenty years and one green light Some roads go quiet for a while Then they bring you home in style Hold on to the ones who knew you when And let them know you again Twenty years and one green light You walked right up and the world was right We said no words for a minute or two Then I said, My friend, look at you Twenty years and one green light Sing it loud and sing it bright Whatever we lost, we found tonight Twenty years and one green light One green light Oh, one green light
