Chet Atkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although the snow covers the hope of spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again my love
Someday whenever the spring breaks through
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Lara my own, think of me now and then
God speed my love till you are mine again
You'll come to me out of the long ago
Warm as the wind soft as the kiss of snow
Till then my sweet think of me now and then
God speed my love 'til you are mine again

The opening line, "Somewhere, my love there will be songs to sing" suggests a focus on hope and the conviction that love will always find a way. Even though the snow covers the hope of spring, there is a hill blossoming in green and gold, representing new beginnings and fresh starts.
