I happens every spring, the world is young again
|
Where children on an up-sa-daisy swing,
|
A carousel with horses freshly painted,
|
The oompapa that says let's get acquainted.
|
|
What is that cheer I heard, a fellow stealing third,
|
Your neighbor's boy became a home-run king.
|
Your dad rolls up his sleeves to clean the attic.
|
Your sixteen year old sister goes dramatic.
|
It happens, yes it happens every spring.
|
|
The tears that go with sulphur and molasses,
|
The outstretched necks when the ice cream wagon passes.
|
A rippling stream sounds like a rippling heart,
|
As Mother Nature proudly spreads her new green carpet.
|
|
Be patient, lonely one, your love will come along,
|
Your autumn heart will find the songs that sing.
|
|
Then raindrops will be dancing to the tune of it,
|
The carefree gay and April, May and June of it,
|
And remember it never rains but what it pours,
|
And maybe raindrops will be whispering, whispering, it's yours.
|
|
Be patient, lonely one, your love will come along,
|
It happens, it always happens every spring.
|
