Life Looks Better In Spring
Jon Lilygreen and The Islanders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even you and I have changed,
The rain the winters bring
Has made us fade away.
I still remember everything -
That old December, the fears, the cold.
I really wonder how you feel
I hope someday you'll see me,
I hope someday you'll spot me in the crowd,
Take my hand and kiss me,
I hope someday you'll say my name out loud.
Tell me, tell me about your feelings,
Tell me about your stories,
Look into my eyes and come on closer,
Make me immortal with a kiss.
Tell me, tell me about your feelings,
Tell me about your stories,
We know it's over, so tell me it's over
And life will be better in spring.
Time changes everything,
But this feeling it still remains,
The sweetest ever lips I kissed
Will always be the same.
I hope someday you'll see me,
I hope someday you'll spot me in the crowd,
Smile and say you miss me,
I hope someday you'll say my name out loud.
Tell me, tell me about your feelings,
Tell me about your stories,
Look into my eyes and come on closer,
Make me immortal with a kiss.
Tell me, tell me about your feelings,
Tell me about your stories,
We know it's over, so tell me it's over
And life will be better in spring.
Tell me, tell me about your feelings,
Tell me about your stories,
Look into my eyes and come on closer,
Make me immortal with a kiss.
Tell me, tell me about your feelings,
Tell me about your stories,
We know it's over, so tell me it's over
And life will be better in spring
