Lyric

Still can’t let go of this heavy winter coat

But the morning air carries a softer note

The alley cat squints in the pale gold light

A hint of spring, like your breath in the night

The buds are restless, they can’t wait no more

I touched them softly, shaking to the core

I heard a heartbeat, a pulse from the floor

I feel the signs of spring, they’re in the air

My heart is stirring, a feeling so rare

Melting the scent of the winter we knew

I’m calling out softly, calling for you

Just a bit longer, just a little while

I want to lean into this hopeful smile

The edge of my scarf dances in the breeze

Cherry blossoms tickle, whispering through trees

On a park bench, empty and still

Remembering the promise, the strength of our will

Time is melting, slow and sweet

In the sun’s glow, where shadows meet

Yours grew a little longer today

I feel the signs of spring, a quiet ache

The space in my chest, for goodness sake

My frozen fingertips are breathing again

I miss you, I want to see you again

Oh, let this message ride on the wind

The nights are still cold, shivering deep

But even in dreams, spring’s starting to creep

I thought I heard you, calling my name

But I woke up with tears, feeling the same

I feel the signs of spring, I’ll let it all go

Surrender my heart to the garden we grow

Before we’re dyed in a brand new hue

Hold me once more, like you used to do

In the signs of spring, let’s start anew

Meet me again, and we’ll see it through

Signs of spring

Softly, so softly

Settling into my soul
