Abbey Lincoln - You Must Believe in Spring Lyrics

When lonely feelings chill
The meadows of your mind
Just think if winter comes
Can spring be far behind?
Beneath the deepest snows
The secret of a rose
Is merely that it knows
You must believe in spring
Just as a tree is sure
Its leaves will reappear
It knows its emptiness
Is just a time of year

The frozen mountain dreams
Of april's melting streams
How crystal clear it seems
You must believe in spring
You must believe in love
And trust its on its way
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of may
So in a world of snow
With things that come and go
With what you think you know
You can't be certain of
You must believe in spring and love

You must believe in love
And trust its on its way
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of may
So in a world of snow
With things that come and go
With what you think you know
You can't be certain of
You must believe in spring and love
