When the season is turning
And my day has gone by
And to see my reflection
See it in your eyes
Know the day that’s come now has gone by

And if you look now quite closely
You feel the sun start to shine
And you know the day is longing
Longing just for you
The season that’s come now is as fresh as you

And if you look now quite closely
You feel the sun start to shine
And you know the day is longing
Longing just for you
The season that’s come now is as fresh as you
