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
