Spring's awakening (Valse song)
 (Sung text for setting by W. Sanderson)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
Come along, come along, life is so sweet,
Gather the flowers that bloom at your feet;
Blossoms will fade away ere the year’s gone;
Winter’s before us, so dreary and long.

Ah!

Smile when your troubles come, they will away,
Troubles won’t last if you smile ev’ry day,
For the sun shines behing ev’ry cloud in the sky,
And the lilt of a laugh smothers many a sigh.

Ah!
Come along, come along, life is so sweet,
Gather the flowers that bloom at your feet;
Blossoms will fade away ere the year’s gone;
Winter’s before us, so dreary and long.

Ah!

Lift up your eyes to the dawn coming through,
Bringing a new world for me and for you;
Birth of the sunshine, the shadows have gone,
A new world is breaking away into song.

Ah!

Come along, come along, life is so sweet,
Gather the flowers that bloom at your feet;
Blossoms will fade away ere the year’s gone;
Winter’s before us, so dreary and long.

Ah!

Composition:

    Set to music by Wilfred Sanderson (1878 - 1935), "Spring's awakening (Valse song)" [ voice and piano ]
