Well The mornings are getting lighter Although winter hasn't yet Reared her ugly head But The anticipation is there The anticipation of warmer air Yes birds do still sing But with a winter sadness in their song They know what is yet to come Before winters bite is done But eventually nature will play the card Warmth once more will fight Winter so hard Bird song from sadness to love will sound Fresh new shoots will spring Forth from the land From winters bitter death new life begins Open wide your arms And welcome spring
