Counting The Days Till Spring

Candlelight all aglow

Fireside the mistletoe’s been put away for the year

Another calendar’s here, My Dear, and we’re

Counting the days till spring

Quiet nights, winter tales

Snowbirds in Ft. Lauderdale

Are making their plans to return

To something for which their hearts yearn to share, My Dear

A brand new song to sing

Counting the days till spring

Out from the cold dark of night

A winter’s hideaway

Keeping us ever so cozy and warm

Awaiting the first breeze of springtime

The wine we’ll pour

The sweet bouquet

The Ellington to dance away

All of our blues in that hour

The moment we see the first flowers bloom,

My Dear

Into the light we’ll swing

Counting the days till spring

After a long winter’s nap

After we hibernate

Back to the garden of love

Back to the moment of springtime

The wine we’ll pour

The sweet bouquet

The Ellington to dance away

All of our blues in that hour

The moment we see the first flowers bloom,

My Dear

Into the light we’ll swing

Counting the days till spring
