Lyrics
In April
A few leaves linger on the trees ?Covered over with light snow
The seeds you plant this time of year
No matter how you care
Take time to grow
Ask me again in April
When I've been with you a while
Don't ask me now if I'll stay
Ask me again in April
When the world begins to smile
I think I'll know in April what to say
Firewood's stacked against the storm
Winter's chill is still so strong
If I know anything at all
The best things start out small
You can't rush love along
Ask me again in April
When I've been with you a while
I'd tell you now if I knew?
Ask me again in April
When the world begins to smile
I think I'll know in April what to do
Wind blowing,
Fire glowing
Soon we'll see the first trace of green showing
Ask Me Again in April...
Don't ask me now how I feel...
[instrumental] [Ask Me Again in April [piano only)]
...If we're together then...it's real.
