Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
You are mine at last, all my doubt is past
And the winter will not seem so drear
You have promised me, my sweet bride to be
When the first buds of springtime appear
When those buds arrive, then my heart will thrive
Not a man alive happy as I, dear
Refrain
When April blossoms bloom, they’ll bloom for me
The breath of Spring’s perfume on ev’ry tree
Will tell me you are mine, and ev’ry budding vine
Will be a tender sign of joy to be
Those April blossoms gay will be my own
The sun will light the day for me alone
I’ll own the skies so blue, all earth and Heaven, too
When April blossoms, April blossoms mean you
