lyrics

Here in the springtime
I hear you breathing
and every smile you give me
is so revealing
I'm caught up inside your eyes
the sunlight plays a tune
and I can't help but feel
the same descant in you

Hooray for showing
Hooray for feeling love inside
Hooray for knowing
I've got something that I just can't hide

I'm green this summer
I swear it's so
There's nothing jealous to it
not that you'd know
Maybe you're too busy while
you ripen for the crowd
but these misgivings
I will never share aloud

Hooray for stumbling
Hooray for mistakes in my touch
Hooray for something
but I'm guessing that’s asking too much

It's cold this winter
and I'm not sleeping
Your love has left me but
the secret's keeping
That while the leaves were falling
I had found you on the ground
Your heady bloom was plucked
while I was not around

Hooray for needing
Hooray for covering it up
Hooray for leaving
Hooray for what I let go of
Hooray for sorrow
and I hope tomorrow comes alone

But who will love you, little plum?
