You Must Believe in Spring

When lonely feelings chill The meadows of your mind Just think if winter comes Can spring be far behind? Beneath the deepest snows The secret of a rose Is merely that it knows You must believe in spring Just as a tree is sure Its leaves will reappear It knows its emptiness Is just the time of year The frozen mountain dreams Of April's melting streams How crystal clear it seems You must believe in spring When angry voices drown The music of the spheres And children face a world That's far beyond their years Above the darkest sky The full horizons lie With all the reasons why You must believe in spring You must believe in spring and love You must believe in love And trust it's on its way Just as the sleeping rose Awaits the kiss of May So in a world of snow Of things that come and go Where what you think you know You can't be certain of You must believe in spring and love
