Lyrics
I Met You in the Springtime Verse: The Summer brought the roses, The roses said farewell, Soon Autumn leaves were falling, Bleak Winter came to dwell, My sadness turned to gladness Hope in my heart bloomed new, For Winter brought the Springtime, And Springtime brought me you. Refrain: I met you in the Springtime, When robins sang above, A tender song of ring-time, A song of joyous love, I blessed the day I met you, For I’ve loved you from the start, Since I met you in the Springtime, It’s been Springtime in my heart. Verse: Each Summer brought me gladness, Each Autumn brought me joy, The Winter brought sweet pleasures That time cannot destroy, The years have brought the silver That shines in your gold hair, Yet ev’ry day to my way, You seem to grow more fair. Refrain
