[00:09.06]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
