Spring is on the Way-original song by Marian Wedley

It's been a long, hard dreary winter here in the UK - it is still cold, but at last there are signs that Spring is on the way - so I came up with this song. I thought I would get some help from the birds in my garden who are as pleased as me to put Winter behind them. Thanks for watching - Marian x
Words and music by me - Marian Wedley 2010 Lyrics below................

The cuckoo sings and the bees are a-buzzing
The mole hills heave and the hive's full of honey
Chasing all my Winter blues away
The tadpoles swim and the bugs are a-jumping
The bluebells ring and the rabbits are humpin'
I know that new life's on the way

I've had my fill of the storm clouds brewing
Winter chills and the cold winds blowing
Weather man had bad news every day
But the ice is melting and the rivers are flowing
All around there are new things growing
I know that Spring is on the way

A young mans fancy turns to love and a-courting
The pretty girls all their charms are flaunting
Last years heartbreak's gone, it's run away
The farmers' daughters at the village dances
Catching his eye with their sideways glances
I know new love's on the way

They've had their fill of the storm clouds brewing
Winter chills and the cold winds blowing
Weather man had bad news every day
But the ice is melting and the rivers are flowing
All around there are new things growing
I know that Spring is on the way

Through my veins I can feel the blood is pumping
My toes are tapping, and my heart is a-thumping
Doubt and fear belong to yesterday
Around my head a new song is humming
So look out world coz I am coming
I know I am on my way

I've had my fill of the storm clouds brewing
Winter chills and the cold winds blowing
Weather man had bad news every day
But the ice is melting and the rivers are flowing
All around there are new things growing
I know that Spring is on the way

The cuckoo sings and the bees are a-buzzing
The mole hills heave and the hive's full of honey
Chasing all my Winter blues away
The tadpoles swim and the bugs are a-jumping
The bluebells ring and the rabbits are humpin'
I know new life's on the way
I know I am on my way
I know Spring is on the way

very nice song !You and that singing bird...a wonderful duo! First time I was thinking the bird wasn't real...

I like a lot!

[skylark51]

@playasong1947 - yes, both the birds and I are real and performing live - I don't think the Robin liked the competition!

Thanks for taking the time to watch - Marian

hi Marian what a great song to share at Easter time. Its funny how spring makes us sing, it gives us new life and a reason to be cheerful after the dark winter days. You even had the birds singing along with you in your garden, a blessing and a promise of what lies ahead! I liked how you finger picked between strumming it worked well and didnt loose any sense of time. Looks like your spring has truly arrived, I think we will have to wait a week or two yet. Happy Easter
