 WRITER JOHN TIPTON



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 said

You've got a beautiful 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 broken 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
