In a broken -down apartment house
the sun was rising up upon the world
At 7 .35 the neighbor smiled and said,
Winter's been a long time passing
Though she'd never been wed
Held her newborn child in sad spring
I've waited a long, long time for you
In that broken -down apartment house,
By her side, her little girl
Said, Mama, don't go away
Mama held her little hand
and prayed to God and said
Find my child a good home,
Winter's been a long time passing
The angels carried her away
Her little girl knelt down to pray
Spring, she'll be a long time
a man and a woman are praying
On their hands are wedding bands,
the church bells are playing
And in heaven an angel is smiling
As they kneel side by side
he tells his bride, I need you so I love you,
Winter's been a long time passing
I will never go away, spring
My I've waited a long, long time for you.
My screen, I've waited a long,
