The Winged Swing

April, young and brightly smiling…
Melts the snow in a park
And my jolly swing is flying
Ever faster, high and far;
Joys and troubles are forgotten,
Skips my heart a beat or two –
Just the wind and clouds of cotton
Dance above to happy tunes.
 
Refrain:
 
To stars and freedom gliding,
It soars above the pines,
My winged swing is flying
Forever high and high,
My winged swing is flying
Forever high and high.
 
Comes the time when we’re grown,
End the years free of care,
Like the leaves in autumn blow,
We will scatter everywhere;
Lucky us, we’re kids for now,
Still we have a year or two,
Just the wind, the sky, the clouds
Dance above to happy tunes.
 
Refrain

Spins the planet ever faster,
From the buzzing days of spring,
Chirps the Robin, choirmaster
And we join the lovely ring
Joys and troubles are forgotten,
Skips my heart a beat or two –
Just the wind and clouds of cotton
Dance above to happy tunes.
 
Refrain
