There's a cloud, there's a cloud
   G#       A#   Cm
A blue sky darkening
      Cm
That veils the light, of the sun
G#       A#       Cm
And foretells the rain
      Cm
But there's a bird, there are birds
     G#       A# Cm
And some are singing

Chorus:
         Cm
To greet every new day that may come
 G#       A#        Cm
Like the first of spring

Chorus

Sprinining
 G# A# Cm
Sprinining

It's late
It's late
As I watch waiting
It will go turn away
The cycle cycling
There's a face with new eyes
A baby crying

Chorus:
Who'll greet every new day that may come
Like the first of spring

Like the first of spring
Like the first of spring
Like the first of spring
