Verse:

Where are the beautiful days?

Where are the sleighrides 'till dawn?

Where are the tender, moments of splender?

Where have the gone?  Where have they gone?

 

First Chorus:

Somewhere my love,

There will be songs to sing,

Although the snow,

Covers the hope of spring.

Somewhere a hill,

Blossoms in green and gold,

And there are dreams,

All that your heart can hold.

 

Bridge:

Someday,

We'll meet again my love,

Someday,

Whenever the spring breaks through.

 

Second Chorus:

You'll come to me,

Out of the long ago,

Warm as the wind,

Soft as the kiss of snow.

'Till then my love,

Think of me now and then,

God speed my love,

 

Ending:

'Till you are mine

Again.
