Lyrics
- The twilight shadows deepen into night, dear
The city lights are gleaming o’er the snow
I sit alone beside the cheery fire, dear
I’m dreaming dreams from out the long ago
I fancy it is springtime in the mountains
The flowers with their colors are aflame
And every day I hear you softly saying
“I’ll wait until the springtime comes again”
Chorus
When it’s springtime in the Rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
With your bonny eyes of blue
Once again I’ll say “I love you”
While the birds sing all the day
When it’s springtime in the Rockies
In the Rockies, far away
- I’ve kept your image guarded in my heart, dear
I’ve kept my love, for you, as pure as dew
I’m longing for the time when I shall come, dear
Back to that dear, old Western home and you
I fancy it is springtime in the mountains
The maple leaves, in first sky-green appear
I hear you softly say, my Queen of Maytime
“This springtime you have come to meet me here”
