Thanks To Spring Lyrics - Beth Nielsen Chapman

Old ticket stubs, gum wrappers etched 

In ways to write your name 

Love letter scraps no strings attached 

Just odds and ends and things 

Wind blows through these photographs 

Our innocence, the aftermath 

Thanks to spring I changed my purse 

Came upon this ancient curse 

The ache and thirst to feel your touch 

I wonder if I'll love that much again 

Life's windows change, new faces flash 

Like cars these days go by 

Such little things unlease the past 

Like feelings locked inside 

Broken plastic dimestore ring 

Holds al the tears my heart contains 

Thanks to spring I clean these drawers 

Dump this stuff out on the floor 

I taste these tears, I breathe this dust 

I wonder if I'll ever love that much again 

Thanks to spring I wind these clocks 

Empty out these cardboard boxes 

Sweep across these closet shelves 

The memories replay themselves 

I open up my window wide 

And smell the sweet new grass outside 

Amazing grace, the seeds of trust 

I wonder if I'll ever love that much again 

Old ticket stubs, gum wrappers etched 

In ways to write your name
