It Happens Every Spring

It Happens Every Spring

Chorus
It happens every spring.
The world is young again.
We’re children on an upsidaisy swing
A carousel with horses freshly painted
The oompahpah 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 nad molasses
The outstretched nickles when an ice cream wagon passes
A rippling stream sounds like a rippling harp
As Mother Nature proudly spreads her new green carpet
Be patient lonely one
Your love will come along
Your autumn heart will find a song to 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 whisp’ring
This spring is yours
