Spring Lyrics - Tanya Tucker

In a broken down apartment house 

Lay a woman in labor 

She said by the grace of God I'll have this child 

And the help of a neighbor 

At six o'clock the sun was rising 

On upon the world 

At seven forty five 

The neighbor smiled and sayed 

You've got a beautiful baby girl 

She named her Spring 

Winter's been a long time passin 

She named her Spring 

And though she's never been wed 

She held her newborn child and said 

Spring, I've waited a long, long time for you

In a broked down apartment house 

Lay a woman dying 

And by her side a little six year old girl 

Who was softly crying 

Momma don't go away 

And leave me all alone 

Momma said to the welfare lady 

Find my child a good home 

I'll miss my Spring 

Winter's been a long time passing 

I'll miss you Spring 

The angels carried her away 

The welfare lady knelt to pray 

Spring, she'll be a long time gone from you

In a beautiful church out side of town 

Stands a woman smiling 

On her hand is a wedding band 

Of fashionable stylin 

All the years in the orphan's home 

He shared with you 

And now you hopes and childhood dreams 

Have all come true 

He loves his Spring 

Winter's been a long time passing 

He loves you Spring 

He promised you today 

He'll never ever go away 

Spring, he's waited a long, long time for you 

A long, long time for you
