I wanted to come visit

you waiting in the springtime

When the leaves change

I wanted to come visit

You waiting in the springtime

When the leaves change

The ground outside is begging

For that newness that surrounds us

As we dance back through the screen door

In the sunlight of mid-April

But the glow won't stop the smiles

That are spreading on our faces

As we fall down on the kitchen floor

And she's laughing

about something

that she had heard earlier

And I can't help noticing that she

Is sitting closer to me

Than she ever has before
