Why do robins sing in December

 Long before the Springtime is due

 And even though it’s snowing, violets are growing

 I know why and so do you

Why do breezes sigh ev’ry evening

 Whispering your name as they do

 And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling

I know why and so do you

When you smile at me

I hear gypsy violins

When you dance with me

 I’m in heaven when the music begins

I can see the sun when it’s raining

Hiding ev’ry cloud from my view

And why do I see rainbows when you’re in my arms

I know why and so do you
