After the Snow

The girls get so pretty in the spring And the eyes of the boys go wandering The life inside them starts to flow After the snow The sun gets higher over the towns The river's fast and floods the ground The shadowed ice is the last to go After the snow Oh darlin', we've shed another year Oh darlin', it's changing that we fear But the bluebird's in the nest And the big black crow is Singing what we already know Life is good, after the snow The paths are telling on our face The years have taken their rightful place But we have ways to make them glow After the snow Laughter still makes music here The cold can't touch the melody we hear And we have so many songs to go After the snow Oh darlin', we've shed another year Oh darlin', it's changing that we fear But the bluebird's in the nest And the big black crow is Singing what we already know Life is good, after the snow Now I know you think I might have changed And true, the time is passing strange We fell in love so long ago... Oh darlin', we've shed another year Oh darlin', it's changing that we fear But the bluebird's in the nest And the big black crow is Singing what we already know Life is good, after the snow
