----------------------------------------------------
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.
