April Love

On a frozen April morning when the frost was in the trees There was blossom like a snowstorm as the sun warmed up the breeze There were blackbirds making music teaching angels how to sing While the bees began to forage, golden humbugs on the wing Daffodils were slowly swaying under bushes turning green And a bluetit woos his lady in a spot he thinks unseen There's a fox that's heading homeward jumping fences on the way Everything is looking perfect as the spring gets underway As I whistled to the starlings that were sweeping up the street And I skipped along the pavements missing cracks with both my feet I was feeling very silly under skies so clear and blue And it's all your fault my darling since you whispered "I love you"
