When It's Springtime In The Rockies
[A lullaby]
Words by Robert Sauer Lyrics by Mary Hale Woolsey, 1929
When it's springtime in the Rockies
I'll be coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonnie eyes of blue
I'll be coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonnie eyes of blue
Once again I'll say I love you
While the birds sing all the day
When it's springtime in the Rockies
In the Rockies far away
While the birds sing all the day
When it's springtime in the Rockies
In the Rockies far away
The twilight shadows linger into night, dear
The city lights are gleaming o'er the snow
I sit alone beside a cheery fire, dear
I'm dreaming dreams from out the long ago
The city lights are gleaming o'er the snow
I sit alone beside a cheery fire, dear
I'm dreaming dreams from out the long ago
I fancy that it's springtime in the mountains
The flowers with their colors are aflame
And though I'd love to be back in the Rockies
I'll wait until the springtime comes again
The flowers with their colors are aflame
And though I'd love to be back in the Rockies
I'll wait until the springtime comes again
