SPRING |
| [00:09.27] |
In a broken down apartment house |
| [00:15.36] |
Laid a woman in labor |
| [00:19.65] |
She said by the grace of God |
| [00:23.61] |
I'll have this child |
| [00:25.83] |
And the help of a neighbor |
| [00:31.17] |
Six o'clock the sun was rising |
| [00:35.97] |
All upon the world |
| [00:40.65] |
Seven forty-five the neighbor smiled |
| [00:44.79] |
And said you got a beautiful girl |
| [00:46.20] |
She named her Spring |
| [00:47.46] |
Winter's been a long time passing |
| [00:50.34] |
She named her Spring |
| [00:53.61] |
And though she's never been wed |
| [00:55.26] |
She held her newborn child and said |
| [00:58.83] |
Ah Spring |
| [01:01.74] |
I've waited a long long time for you |
| [01:04.44] |
In a broken down apartment house |
| [01:07.41] |
Lay a woman dying |
| [01:07.92] |
By her side a little six year old girl |
| [01:10.23] |
Who was softly crying |
| [01:12.15] |
Momma don't go away |
| [01:14.37] |
And leave me all alone |
| [01:22.53] |
Momma said to the welfare lady |
| [01:25.80] |
Find my child a good home |
| [01:26.79] |
I miss my Spring |
| [01:30.57] |
Ah winter's been a long time passing |
| [01:32.49] |
I miss you Spring |
| [01:35.22] |
The angels came that day |
| [01:40.35] |
The welfare lady knelt to pray |
| [01:42.33] |
Ah Spring |
| [01:42.63] |
She'll be long time gone from you |
| [01:46.53] |
A beautiful church outside of town |
| [01:48.75] |
Stands a woman smiling |
| [01:50.22] |
On her hand is a wedding band |
| [01:54.03] |
Of fashionable styling |
| [01:54.93] |
All these years in the orphan's home |
| [02:01.83] |
He shares with you |
| [02:02.76] |
Now all your hopes and your childhood dreams |
| [02:10.88] |
Have all come true |
| [02:11.55] |
He loves you Spring |
| [02:15.78] |
Winter's been a long time passing |
| [02:18.60] |
He needs you Spring |
| [02:19.53] |
He promised you today |
| [02:23.40] |
He would never never go away |
| [02:27.21] |
Ah Spring |
| [02:39.69] |
He's waited a long long time for you |
| [02:45.72] |
Long long time for you |
