Lyrics

Green grows the grass
Now that winter's long past
The bloom on the lilac is through
Will you not think of me
By the red sugar tree
My darling, I still think of you

Will you return to me in the fall
Do you swear that you can't hear me calling
Say you will keep your heart for me still
Come back to me in the fall

There's a bird on a wing
Like a bright day in spring
She sings all my cares and my woes
It's a song without words
But the promise I heard
Told me you'd be back wiht the snow

Will you return to me in the fall
Do you swear that you can't hear me calling
Say you will keep your heart for me still
Come back to me in the fall
