It Happens Every Spring

[Verse 1]
It happens every spring, the world is young again
We're children on an up-sa-daisy swing
A carousel with horses freshly painted
The oompapa that says let's get acquainted
What is that cheer I heard, a fellow stealing third
Your neighbor's boy became a home-run king
Your dad rolls up his sleeves to clean the attic
Your sixteen year old sister goes dramatic
It happens, yes it happens every spring

[Verse 2]
The tears that go with sulphur and molasses
The outstretched nickels when the ice cream wagon passes
A rippling stream that sounds like a rippling heart
As Mother Nature proudly spreads her new green carpet
Be patient, lonely one, your love will come along
Your autumn heart will find a song to sing
Then raindrops will be dancing to the tune of it
The carefree gay and April, May and June of it
And remember it never rains but what it pours
And maybe raindrops will be whispering
This spring is yours

[Outro]
Just remember it never rains but what it pours
And maybe raindrops will be whispering
This spring has got to be yours
