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
