Spring Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a cloud
There's a cloud
A blue sky darkening
That veils the light of the sun
And foretells the rain
But there's a bird
There are birds
And some are singing

[Chorus]
To greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring

[Verse 2]
It is cold
It is cold
I've had the feeling
At the heart and in the core
The roots of all things
But there's a bud there's a bulb
It will be blooming

[Chorus]
To greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring
[Bridge]
Spring
Spring

[Verse 3]
It's late
It's late
As I watch waiting
It will go turn away
The cycle cycling
There's a face with new eyes
A baby crying

[Chorus]
Who'll greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring

[Outro]
Like the first of spring
Like the first of spring
Like the first of spring

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
