It may be wishful thinking for some of you..but believe me...Spring is on its way!! :) This began life as an instrumental on Jeff's page. I wrote the words to fit Jeff's melody....Jeff added the chorus.
Lyrics by Beeswing
Guitar, vocals & arrangement - Jeff Lord
Congas – Pat Duran
February Melt
A beam of sunlight weaves a rainbow through the trees
Here and there the white is giving way to green
The leaden sky is brightened by the lightest blue
A hopeful promise of a life renewed
The snow is slipping, sliding, swelling every stream
It’s a February melt
Washing away this winter weariness I’ve felt
With a February melt
Chorus
I feel the hope that comes with each new spring
I’m feeling the warmth the southern breezes bring
And as the sunlight kisses my face
I’m feeling so alive, just like I do when I wake
The water shimmers as the ice breaks on the lake
A world in hibernation slowly starts to wake
And birds migrating stop to rest awhile and sing
A song to welcome in another spring
My spirit soars as my heart begins to thaw
February melt
Washing away this winter weariness I’ve felt
With a February melt
Repeat Chorus
Update!
Perhaps I was a little premature!
