Tulips In The Spring Songtext

When the days grow shorter and the Northwind blows We plant bulbs under trees Along the house, out by the road We have a vision for Spring No one knows what the future brings Looking for tulips in the Spring We dig our holes not too deep, not too close And lay the earth carefully aside With chilled fingers and dirt on our knees We plant the bulbs and go inside No one knows what the future brings Looking for tulips in the Spring When winter comes with its sleet and its snow We look out on the yard Through the frosted windowpane We try to keep it warm inside No one knows what the future brings Looking for tulips in the Spring If there's one thing I could tell my child If there's one thing I could learn myself Little in life seems to mean much more Than watching for tulips in the Spring No one knows what the future brings Looking for tulips in the Spring
