lyrics

It was spring, it was spring
When we built our cabin on the Pacific Ocean
And we left behind the rain
We knew our lives would never be the same

We planted flowers, we built a home
It never crossed our minds again that we would roam
We looked forward to each day
From that day on we’d found a place to stay

Green leaves emerging in the spring
Not knowing what the next day would bring
But we didn’t worry about a thing on that day
The sun was warm, the birds did sing, and it was spring

It was spring, it was spring
When we walked through the dusty cloud on Main Street
A sense of hope was all around
We hitched our horses just outside of town

Holding hands with Lisa-Ann
She found a job right in town
She always seemed to know just what to say
And everybody liked us right away

The longer days that softened winter’s sting
Little birds testing out their wings
I gave Lisa-Ann a ring on that day
The sun was warm, the birds did sing, and it was spring

The longer days that softened winter’s sting
Little birds testing out their wings
I gave Lisa-Ann a ring on that day
The sun was warm, the birds did sing, and it was spring
The sun was warm, the birds did sing, and it was spring
The sun was warm, the birds did sing, and it was spring
