SPRING SONG
As sung by Alan Bell on "The Definitive Collection" (2005)

1. Early one evening as I strolled along,
I heard a girl singing an old country song
To welcome the new days, the coming of spring,
The bleak winter over, new life to begin.

CHORUS:
Love is a pleasure; love is a pain.
Love is desire to share yet again
The sweetness of caring, the joy and the tears,
Love everlasting, enduring the years.

2. She sang it so sweetly; she sang it so fine,
I thought of my own life and all that was mine,
For having and holding are better than dreams,
And lucky in love means more than it seems.

3. A time comes for living; a time comes for love,
And spring is a good time to give all you have,
For seasons will come and so quickly roll on,
But spring brings that young girl to sing the old song.
