When Spring Returns

Snow still lingers on the ground

In the silence, not a sound

You left me on a frozen day

But I still see your smile that fades

The air is cold, but memories warm

Even as I weather this storm

You were my sun, now skies are gray

I still wait for your face each day

When spring returns, will you remember me?

When flowers bloom where we used to be

Though time moves on and hearts may mend

I can't pretend this isn't the end

Every petal, every breeze

Whispers secrets through the trees

If I close my eyes and dream

Will you come back with the spring?

Bare branches reach for skies above

Like my heart still reaching for your love

I trace your name in foggy glass

Wondering if this hurt will pass

I watch the world start to revive

But I’m still stuck where you said goodbye

The birds return, the rivers flow

But your voice is gone, I know

When spring returns, will you remember me?

When flowers bloom where we used to be

Though time moves on and hearts may mend

I can't pretend this isn't the end

Every petal, every breeze

Whispers secrets through the trees

If I close my eyes and dream

Will you come back with the spring?

Seasons change and people do too

But I still write these songs for you

And even if you’ve moved along

You’ll live inside this gentle song

And if you don't, that’s still okay

I’ll think of you each blooming day

The cold will fade, the sun will shine

But I’ll keep your memory as mine
