Lyrics
- Winter blows its breath on the lowlands
Over every green covered glen
All in vain I’ve wandered the snow-lands
Looking for the sunshine again, then
Refrain:
Just like a breath of spring
You came to make me sing
A rose in the snow
Where cold breezes blow
You blossom and grow so beautiful
Come let us drift away
To find an April day
We’ll love and we’ll dream
And life, dear, will seem
Just like a breath of springtime
- I shall roam again ‘mid the flowers
Tho’ I do not know where or when
Lonely I have counted the hours
’til the sun would smile down again, then
