Song Description
Old age and loneliness often times come wrapped in the same package, especially after one loses a life long mate. The man in this story is very old. He is alone. His wife Lillian died 20 years ago. He is trapped in his home in the dead of winter?with no one there for him. He only has the sweet memories of his life with Lillian to comfort him. He wants something now, more than anything he?s ever wanted before. Listen to the beautiful orchestration and feel empathy for this man?then feel his joy.

Lyrics
Sunken eyes staring out at the snow
What more is left of this ancient life
Twenty years since he lost his wife
Some days it doesn?t seem that long ago
Springtime will come again
Windows closed tight and the shades pulled down
Sitting in his chair he dreams of a place
Through muted sunlight he sees a face
It?s Lillian in her wedding gown
Springtime will come again
Springtime will come again
Now he walks on the clouds
Holding her hand in his
He kisses her sweet lips again
He wishes to remain
He wishes to remain
He hears a noise and he opens his eyes
Snowplow grinding iron on the road
This is his final episode
His body broken, his soul does rise
Springtime will come again
Springtime will come again
Now they walk on the clouds
Holding her hand in his
He kisses her sweet lips again
Springtime will come again
Springtime will come again
