When It's Springtime in the Rockies
Love's Alpine Return: Springtime Echoes in the Rockies
Lyrics
When it's springtime in the Rockies
Expressing anticipation and joy for the arrival of spring in the Rockies.
I'm coming back to you
Declaring the intention to return to a loved one when spring arrives.
Little sweetheart of the mountains
Referring to the beloved as a small, endearing person of the mountains.
With your Bonnie eyes of blue
Describing the charming blue eyes of the sweetheart.
Once again I'll say I love you
Reaffirming love and expressing it while surrounded by the songs of birds.
While the birds sing all the day
Setting the scene where love is declared amid the melodies of birds during spring.
When it's springtime in the Rockies
Reiterating the connection between the speaker and the Rockies in spring.
In the Rockies far away
Indicating the distant location of the Rockies from the speaker.
The twilight shadows deepen into night, dear
Describing the transition from twilight to night, emphasizing the city lights over the snow.
The city lights are gleaming o'er the snow
Highlighting the urban environment in contrast to the natural setting of the Rockies.
I sit alone beside the cheery fire, dear
Depicting the speaker alone by a warm fire, possibly reminiscing about the past.
I'm dreaming dreams from out the long ago
Expressing the act of dreaming about memories from a distant past.
I fancy, it is springtime in the Rockies
Imagining the current season as spring in the Rockies.
The flowers with their colors are aflame
Portraying vibrant colors of flowers in full bloom during this imagined springtime.
And though I long to be back in the Rockies
Expressing a desire to return to the Rockies, despite the current separation.
I'll wait until the springtime comes again
Committing to waiting for the actual arrival of spring before returning.
When it's springtime in the Rockies
Repeating the anticipation and joy associated with spring in the Rockies.
I'm coming back to you
Restating the intention to return to the loved one when spring arrives.
Little sweetheart of the mountains
Reaffirming the endearing nature of the sweetheart in the mountains.
With your Bonnie eyes of blue
Describing the charming blue eyes of the sweetheart, echoing a previous description.
Once again I'll say I love you
Reiterating the expression of love to be shared once again during the spring.
While the birds sing all the day
Emphasizing the continuous presence of birdsong throughout the day.
When it's springtime in the Rockies
Recalling the connection between the speaker and the Rockies during springtime.
In the Rockies far away
Reiterating the distant location of the Rockies, reinforcing the theme of separation.
