[Bill:] I'll only be away a year
then I'll come back and find you here.
[May:] Perched up upon that wall
to greet you when you call.
[Bill:] I'll mention with a careless air
that I've become a millionaire
[May:] And I will answer: "Good!
I always knew you would."
[Bill:] And then we'll have our fling,
Icecream and ev'rything!

A year from today
when I come back to you
the sun will be shining
the sky will be blue.
The wind in the rushes
will sing with the thrushes
and doves in the tree tops
will Coo Coo Coo
Bees in the clover
will hum this refrain
Winter is over
and spring's here again!
And Oh! what a lot
we shall both have to say
when I come back
a year from today.

A year from today
when I come back to you
the sun will be shining
the sky will be blue.
The wind in the rushes
will sing with the thrushes
and doves in the tree tops
will Coo Coo Coo
Bees in the clover
will hum this refrain
Winter is over
and spring's here again!
And Oh! what a lot
we shall both have to say
when I come back
a year from today.

[Bill:] A year! Why, that's no time at all,
just Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall:
I'll be right back just think!
Before you've time to wink
[May:] Then won't we have the grandest fun!
I'll tell you ev'ry thing I've done.
[Bill:] And when your story's through
then I'll start telling you:
I'll talk so fast I'll slip
and dislocate a lip!

A year from today
when I come back to you
the sun will be shining
the sky will be blue.
The wind in the rushes
will sing with the thrushes
and doves in the tree tops
will Coo Coo Coo
Bees in the clover
will hum this refrain
Winter is over
and spring's here again!
And Oh! what a lot
we shall both have to say
when I come back
a year from today.

A year from today
when I come back to you
the sun will be shining
the sky will be blue.
The wind in the rushes
will sing with the thrushes
and doves in the tree tops
will Coo Coo Coo
Bees in the clover
will hum this refrain
Winter is over
and spring's here again!
And Oh! what a lot
we shall both have to say
when I come back
a year from today.
