Spring
Lyricist:John Lewis Tipton
In a broken down apartment house Lay a woman in labor She said, 'By the grace of God I'll have this child And the help of a neighbor'
At six o'clock the sun was rising On upon the world at seven forty five The neighbor smiled and said 'You've got a beautiful girl'
She named her Spring Winter's been a long time passin' She named her Spring And though she's never been wed
She held her newborn child and said 'Spring, I've waited a long, long time for you In a broken down apartment house'
Lay a woman dying And by her side a little six year old girl Who was softly crying Momma don't go away and leave me all alone
Momma said to the welfare lady Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'Find my child a good home I'll miss my Spring Winter's been a long time passing I'll miss you, Spring'
The angels carried her away The welfare lady knelt to pray Spring, she'll be a long time gone from you In a beautiful church out side of town
Stands a woman smiling On her hand is a wedding band Of fashionable stylin' All the years in the orphan's home
He shared with you And now you hopes and childhood dreams Have all come true, he loves his Spring Winter's been a long time passing
He loves you, Spring, he promised you today He'll never ever go away Spring, he's waited a long, long time for you A long, long time for you
