When It's Springtime in the Rockies - Johnnie Ray

The twilight shadows deepen into night, dear

The city lights are gleaming o’er the snow

I sit alone beside the cheery fire dear

I’m dreaming dreams from out the long ago

I fancy it is springtime in the mountain

The flowers with their colors are aflame

And ev’ry day I hear you softly saying

«I'll wait until the springtime comes again»

When it’s springtime in the rockies

I am coming back to you

Little sweetheart of the mountains

With your bonny eyes of blue

Once again I’ll say «I love you»

While the birds sing all the day

When it’s springtime in the rockies

In the rockies, far away

When it’s springtime in the rockies

I am coming back to you

Little sweetheart of the mountains

With your bonny eyes of blue

Once again I’ll say «I love you»

While the birds sing all the day

When it’s springtime in the rockies

In the rockies, far away

I’ve kept your image guarded in my heart, dear

I’ve kept my love for you, as pure as dew

I’m longing for the time when I shall come, dear

Back to that dear, old western home and you

I fancy it is springtime in the mountains

The maple leaves in first sky-green appear

I hear you softly say, my queen of Maytime

«This springtime you have come to meet me here»

When it’s springtime in the rockies

I am coming back to you

Little sweetheart of the mountains

With your bonny eyes of blue

Once again I’ll say «I love you»

While the birds sing all the day

When it’s springtime in the rockies

In the rockies, far away
