stand here on the bridge with me   and look down below   see how high the river is   from all the melting snow       I think the river is laughing   like a thousand old ladies   like a thousand silver chimes in the wind       ah, when Spring comes   there's nothing you can hide   making all your feelings come alive       frozen toes and tons of clothes   in winter time is done   people are like flowers   they blossom in the sun   open up you flowers   tell us when and we'll follow you   la la la       ah, when Spring comes   there's nothing you can hide   making all your feelings come alive   so you open up   your windows and doors   and the sun and the breeze   streams across the floors   the river is rising   the birds are returning   the earth is promising   Love   (or something like that)   I don't know       talking with you on the road   I couldn't hear what you said   for there was honking in the heavens   honking overhead   but you can't fool me   I know that cars don't fly   la la la       ah, when Spring comes   there's nothing you can hide   making all your feelings come alive   and you feel so different inside   that you think that in winter   you must've been barely alive   the river is rising   the birds are returning   the earth is promising   Love   (or something like that)   I don't know       I think I would read my books   if they weren't upside down   and I wasn't on the window ledge   dropping them on the ground   I think I'll get my bicycle out   down the road I'll sway   la la la       ah, when Spring comes   there's nothing you can hide   making all your feelings come alive   so you open up   your windows and doors   and the sun and the breeze   streams across the floors   the river is rising   the birds are returning   the earth is promising   Love   (or something like that)   I don't know
