[Verse]
Used to dread the shortening light
Used to fight the coming night
Summer’s gold would fade to grey
And something in me slipped away
[Verse]
Seventy years, I’ve watched it turn
Every leaf that falls, I’ve learned
It isn’t loss the way I thought
It’s just a season, nothing lost
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I stand here, still the same
Older now, but not in vain
I’ve seen the turning, I know the way
It all comes round to spring again
[Chorus]
I don’t need forever, just one more spring
Just one more chance to hear the world begin
I’ve had my summers, I’ve had my fall
I’m just so grateful to witness it all
I don’t need forever, just one more spring
Just let me see what the new year brings
[Verse]
Funny how the years bring ease
Funny how I’ve made my peace
The boy who feared the fading light
Is the old man who sees it right
[Bridge]
Maybe that’s the joke on me
Spent so long just wanting spring
Never knew that autumn too
Was teaching me the same old thing
[Chorus]
I don’t need forever, just one more spring
Just one more chance to hear the world begin
I’ve had my summers, I’ve had my fall
I’m just so grateful to witness it all
I don’t need forever, just one more spring
Just let me see… what the new year brings
[Outro]
Just one more spring
Just one more spring
