It’s here—sweet, long-awaited spring. Earth has awakened; life is new. The breeze exudes a unique zing. Let’s have a big outdoors wing-ding. Who could resist the springtime view? It’s here—sweet, long-awaited spring. The trilling birds are on the wing. New blooms are lovely; skies are blue. The breeze exudes a unique zing. Cool rain is Queen; the sun is King. The season’s fun, kids now pursue. It’s here—sweet, long-awaited spring. Bright kites float high on lengthy string when springtime makes its grand debut. The breeze exudes a unique zing. The young and young-at-heart will sing of love, and some will say “I do.” It’s here—sweet, long-awaited spring. The breeze exudes a unique zing.
