Lyrics

  1. The winter is ending
    The voice of love is sending
    A message to you and I dear
    The breezes hum a refrain
    Springtime is coming again
    Don’t worry, for bye and bye, dear

Refrain
When robins sing
With a heart throb in Spring
Then it is nesting time, dear
When blossoms peep
And awake from their sleep
Then it is nesting time
Two hearts are beating
Beating as one
Soft breezes whisper “I love you”
I’ll never rest till I build you a nest
When it is nesting time

  1. The whole world is waiting
    Until the time for mating
    The shadows all melt away, dear
    The bluebird yearning above
    And true hearts turning to love
    In Springtime there’ll come a day, dear
