Spring

歌詞

In a broken down apartment house Lay a woman in labor She said by the grace of God I'll have this child And the help of a neighbor At six o'clock the sun was rising On upon the world At seven forty five The neighbor smiled and sayed You've got a beautiful baby girl She named her Spring Winter's been a long time passin She named her Spring And though she's never been wed She held her newborn child and said Spring, I've waited a long, long time for you In a broked down apartment house Lay a woman dying And by her side a little six year old girl Who was softly crying Momma don't go away And leave me all alone Momma said to the welfare lady Find my child a good home I'll miss my Spring Winter's been a long time passing I'll miss you Spring The angels carried her away The welfare lady knelt to pray Spring, she'll be a long time gone from you In a beautiful church out side of town Stands a woman smiling On her hand is a wedding band Of fashionable stylin All the years in the orphan's home He shared with you And now you hopes and childhood dreams Have all come true He loves his Spring Winter's been a long time passing He loves you Spring He promised you today He'll never ever go away Spring, he's waited a long, long time for you A long, long time for you
