“Big Yellow Taxi”

 “Big Yellow Taxi”

Amy Grant


They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot

Don’t it always seem to go

That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

 

They took all the trees and put ‘em in a tree museum

And then they charged all the people twenty-five bucks just to see ‘em

Don’t it always seem to go

That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

 

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now

Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, ‘em

Don’t it always seem to go

That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone

They paved paradise and put a parking lot

 

Late last night I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man

Don’t it always seem to go

That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Don’t it always seem to go

That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Bible Verses

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.   1  You have searched me,  Lord ,      and you know me.   2  You know when I sit and when I rise;      you perceive my thoughts from afar.   3  You discern my going out and my lying down;      you are familiar with all my ways.   4  Before a word is on my tongue      you,  Lord , know it completely.   5  You hem me in behind and before,      and you lay your hand upon me.   6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,      too lofty for me to attain.   7  Where can I go from your Spirit?      Where can I flee from your presence?   8  If I go up to the heavens, you are there;      if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.   9  If I rise on the ...
