Another Spring
Old people talk with themselves
When they sit all 'round all the day
This old woman I-I knew
I used to go over there, sit with her
And she'd be sittin' around in a rocking chair talking to herself
And she used to say, she used to say
"Sometimes the cold gets in my bones so bad
"Til I just don't think I can go on"
Yeah, and for a little while well I don't care
If my days are coming to an end
I'd just as soon be gone sometimes
Sometimes the night comes down on me
And I know what's ahead
An evening in this cold old house
With no one to say, "Goodnight" to me when I go to bed
An evening in this cold old house
With no one to say, "Goodnight" to me when I go to bed
Sometimes I wonder why I stay, what am I waitin' for?
My children are grown and gone away
They got children of their own now
Don't need me anymore
In winter when the streets are bare
There ain't nothing much to see
I just can't help missin' and thinkin' about that kindly man
That one old wintertime came and took away from me
And then one mornin'
Another spring is there outside my door
Things are bloomin', birds are singin'
And suddenly, yes, well, I ain't sad
Ain't sad no more, ain't sad no more
When it's warm and the sun is out
It's like my heart's restored
I've had my love, I've had my children
And I have so many memories
So don't mind me complainin'
What the years may bring
'Cause this old world has been fine with me really
And I'm thankful for seein' another spring
It's gonna be better this time, another spring
It's gonna be groovier this time, another spring
It's what's happenin' this time
So I'm thankful for letting me see another spring
When they sit all 'round all the day
This old woman I-I knew
I used to go over there, sit with her
And she'd be sittin' around in a rocking chair talking to herself
And she used to say, she used to say
"Sometimes the cold gets in my bones so bad
"Til I just don't think I can go on"
Yeah, and for a little while well I don't care
If my days are coming to an end
I'd just as soon be gone sometimes
Sometimes the night comes down on me
And I know what's ahead
An evening in this cold old house
With no one to say, "Goodnight" to me when I go to bed
An evening in this cold old house
With no one to say, "Goodnight" to me when I go to bed
Sometimes I wonder why I stay, what am I waitin' for?
My children are grown and gone away
They got children of their own now
Don't need me anymore
In winter when the streets are bare
There ain't nothing much to see
I just can't help missin' and thinkin' about that kindly man
That one old wintertime came and took away from me
And then one mornin'
Another spring is there outside my door
Things are bloomin', birds are singin'
And suddenly, yes, well, I ain't sad
Ain't sad no more, ain't sad no more
When it's warm and the sun is out

So don't mind me complainin'
What the years may bring
'Cause this old world has been fine with me really
And I'm thankful for seein' another spring
It's gonna be better this time, another spring
It's gonna be groovier this time, another spring
It's what's happenin' this time
So I'm thankful for letting me see another spring
