The Colours of Spring
Where the moss turns green
and softens the lawn,
Spring has a spring in its step.
Where yellow daffodils
and primrose beam,
Spring has a spring in its step.
Where purple aubretia
pops out from the wall,
Spring has a spring in its step.
Where magnolia buds
bloom ice-pink in the tree,
Spring has a spring in its step.
Where new life begins
in colourful joy,
Spring has a spring in its step.
and softens the lawn,
Spring has a spring in its step.
Where yellow daffodils
and primrose beam,
Spring has a spring in its step.
Where purple aubretia
pops out from the wall,
Spring has a spring in its step.
Where magnolia buds
bloom ice-pink in the tree,
Spring has a spring in its step.
Where new life begins
in colourful joy,
Spring has a spring in its step.
