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- AprilBut 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
