I'm longing for Spring

They say that spring is coming They tell me winter is through I listen for the birds now And dream of nightingales too Yet still a chill comes over me When will my heart feel like singing? I'm longing for the morning When winter will give way to spring They say that spring is coming They tell me winter is through The river's high and running The snow and ice are gone too Though clouds today are winter gray Could grass be green? Am I dreaming? I'm longing for the morning When winter will give way to spring They say that spring is coming They tell me winter is through This brand new song I'm humming Sweet love I'm dreaming of too Yet who could say that spring is here? It looks like snow late this evening I'm longing for the morning When winter will give way to spring
