It happens every spring, the world is young again Where children on an upsy daisy swing A carousel with horses freshly painted The oom papa that says let's get acquainted What is that cheer I heard, a fellow stealing third Your neighbor's boy became a home-run king Your dad rolls up his sleeves to clean the attic Your sixteen-year-old sister goes dramatic It happens, yes it happens every spring The tears that go with sulfur and molasses The outstretched necks when the ice cream wagon passes A rippling stream sounds like a rippling heart As Mother Nature proudly spreads her new green carpet Be patient, lonely one, your love will come along Your autumn heart will find the songs that sing Then raindrops will be dancing to the tune of it The carefree gay and April, May, and June of it And remember it never rains, but what it pours And maybe raindrops will be whispering Whispering, it's yours And remember it never rains, but what it pours And maybe raindrops will be whispering Whispering has got to be yours
