Lyrics:

If I might see another Spring
I'd listen to the daylight birds
That build their nests and pair and sing.
Nor wait for mateless nightingale;

I'd listen to the lusty herds,
The ewes with lambs as white as snow,
I'd find out music in the hail
And all the winds that blow.

If I might see another Spring
Oh stinging comment on my past
That all my past results in "if"
If I might see another Spring
I'd laugh today, today is brief;

I would not wait for anything that cannot last,
Be glad today and sing, and sing.
