The First Day Of Spring

© 2008 Mark Cote

1. As the warming sun brightens a room
    the flowers outside refuse to bloom
    not enough love to warm a heart
    a heart that's torn apart

2. buds won't extend
    colors won't blend
    birds won't sing 'til there's love in the air
    no more coldness and despair

(chorus) it's the first day of spring in the winter of my life
                with each breath of new life it brings
                my heart wants to reach out from the chill it clings

3. a bee's buzz is just a hum
    it's peaceful sound still makes me feel numb
    the melting snow shows a world that is new
    as creatures pair up it makes me feel blue
(chorus)
