Spring (Album Version)

	WRITER JOH
	N TIPTON In a broken down apartment house
	Lay a woman in labor
	She said by the grace of
	God I'll have this child
	And the help of a neighbor
	At six o'clock the sun was rising
	On upon the world
	At seven forty five
	The neighbor smiled and said
	You've got a beautiful girl
	She named her
	Spring Winter's been a long time passin’
	She named her
	Spring And though she's never been wed
	She held her newborn child and said
	Spring, I've waited a long, long time for you
	In a broken down apartment house
	Lay a woman dying
	And by her side a little six year old girl
	Who was softly crying
	Momma don't go away
	And leave me all alone
	Momma said to the welfare lady
	Find my child a good home
	I'll miss my
	Spring Winter's been a long time passing
	I'll miss you
	Spring The angels carried her away
	The welfare lady knelt to pray
	Spring, she'll be a long time gone from you
	In a beautiful church out side of town
	Stands a woman smiling
	On her hand is a wedding band
	Of fashionable stylin’
	All the years in the orphan's home
	He shared with you
	And now you hopes and childhood dreams
	Have all come true
	He loves his
	Spring Winter's been a long time passing
	He loves you
	Spring He promised you today
	He'll never ever go away
	Spring, he's waited a long, long time for you
	A long, long time for you
