SPRINGTIME

When it's springtime on the prairies

And the tulips are in bloom

When the robins sing a new song

And young lovers start to spoon

When the trees unfold their blossoms

And the gentle breezes blow

When it's springtime on the prairies,

All my love to you I'll show.

Many signs that spring is staying

Are the warmer days, cold nights.

Yes, the sun now gets up sooner

We can save electric lights.

Pussy willows by the roadside

Some days rain; yet some days snow.

Time to do the big spring cleaning;

Soon there’ll be green grass to mow.

Time for planting pretty flowers

Peas and carrots in a row.

Time to water and to nourish

So that everything can grow.

All the beauty of Creation

Once again bursts forth in bloom!

Just enjoy the days of springtime,

Summer will come far too soon!
