[Chorus]
All Loves have their changing seasons
Just like the spinning years
And they last or fail for many reasons
Live with hopes—or Die with tears
When Love lasts, it is a blessing
Spring to Summer as it grows
When It dies, it is the heartache
Like cold Winter—with its woes

[Verse 2]
How quickly do the hours add up to days,
The days to weeks, the weeks to months and years!
Soon, Old Time in the old time-honored ways
Has made mere memories of our joys and tears
There was a time, My Love, when each fleeting minute
Was greeted as a new log for life’s fire
And each new day with all Love’s promise in it
Dawned on the journey toward our heart’s desire

[Verse 3]
But those days didn’t last, we parted ways
And again, the clouds have come to hide the sun
The chill of loneliness returns—cold wintry days
I YEARN FOR YESTERDAYS WITH EVERY DAWN
The times we shared, the warm memories we made
Those times are gone. I cannot bring them back
Our Love hides in shadows under Sorrow’s shade.
My dream has died—that Spring might come again

[Verse 4]
And I remember evenings after sunset.
We two would walk until the summer stars
Were spinning overhead, before the onset
Of troubles and the wounds that left our scars
As, hand in hand Moonshadows on the grass,
We walked in Love.. .—we swore would never pass.

[Instrumental Outro] fingerpicked acoustic guitar for 6 bars with mandolin and steel guitar entering in for final 3]

[Verse 1] As Spring’s first touches free the frozen earth With rainy fingers, as Her youthful Sun Parts through the soil to stir the hidden seeds— Working the wondrous blessing of rebirth; As rivers rush around the rippling reeds And waters break in a swollen seaward run; As young things frolick in their warm-wind mirth— So, from dead winter, blanketed by woes— My spirit-frozen, sorrow-withered soul Was touched by a bold question and a smile Then—wondrous as the disappearing snows— My soul was brought back to life; my heart was made whole [Chorus] All Loves have their changing seasons Just like the spinning years And they last or fail for many reasons Live with hopes—or Die with tears When Love lasts, it is a blessing Spring to Summer as it grows When It dies, it is the heartache Like cold Winter—with its woes [Verse 2] How quickly do the hours add up to days, The days to weeks, the weeks to months and years! Soon, Old Time in the old time-honored ways Has made mere memories of our joys and tears There was a time, My Love, when each fleeting minute Was greeted as a new log for life’s fire And each new day with all Love’s promise in it Dawned on the journey toward our heart’s desire [Chorus] All Loves have their changing seasons Just like the spinning years And they last or fail for many reasons Live with hopes—or Die with tears When Love lasts, it is a blessing Spring to Summer as it grows When It dies, it is the heartache Like cold Winter—with its woes [Verse 3] But those days didn’t last, we parted ways And again, the clouds have come to hide the sun The chill of loneliness returns—cold wintry days I YEARN FOR YESTERDAYS WITH EVERY DAWN The times we shared, the warm memories we made Those times are gone.
