It Happens Every Spring

It happens every spring
The world is young again
Where children on an up-sa daisy swing
A carousel with horses freshly painted
The oompapa 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 and molasses
The outstretched necks when the
Ice cream wagon passes
A rippling stream sounds like
A rippling heart
As Mother Nature proudly spreads
Her new green carpet be patient, lonely one
Your love will come along
Your autumn heart will find
The songs that 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 whispering, whispering, it's yours
Be patient, lonely one
Your love will come along
It happens, it always happens every spring
