Lyrics
She was Spring to me.
Everything, good to me..
She loved Spring rains..
She chatted on like a Bluejay.
She was Spring to me;
She saw everything
with her eyes of love.
She was Spring to me.
She was Spring to me.
She loved her hands in the dirt
and with dirt on Her shirt,
She understood, that life is good.
She was Spring to me.
She forgot what was lesser,
remembered what was better.
She was Spring to me..
CHORUS:
Can You see me here now at all?
I am trying to be brave...
I fear I may collapse into
the loving arms of Your grave...
You will always be Spring to me...
You are everything good to me..
