lyrics

The sun shone down on dewey grass along the riverbank
We laughed without a care in the world,
But now the scene is blank

See you in the spring by the St. Croix Rivière
When all the snow is melted
And there’s something in the air
See you in the spring by the St. Croix Rivière
Shuttered for the off-season,
Black and white filter

See you in the spring, when the flowers are in bloom
I know it seems far away, but I will wait for you
Think about the times ahead, what the future holds
Underneath the bitter snow, lie those fields of gold

I am waiting faithfully, but will you do the same?
When again our paths meet, will you call my name?
Will you be there like you said, by the St. Croix Rivière?
I hope that we will meet again in the place we hold so dear

See you in the spring by the St. Croix Rivière
When all the snow is melted
And there’s something in the air
See you in the spring by the St. Croix Rivière
Shuttered for the off-season,
Black and white filter

We’ve been waiting for this time since many years ago
But now I’m faced with facing you, and now I cannot go
I know I said I’d wait for you, but now that time has gone
Things have changed inside my heart, it’s not where I belong

And I can see you standing there
Alone across the water
You vanish in the air
And fade as you’re forgotten
Ahh, fade as you’re forgotten
Ahh

See you in the spring by the St. Croix Rivière
When all the snow is melted
And there’s something in the air
See you in the spring by the St. Croix Rivière
Shuttered for the off-season,
Black and white filter

See you in the spring by the St. Croix Rivière
When all the snow is melted
And there’s something in the air
See you in the spring by the St. Croix Rivière
I hope to meet you there before my heart begins to turn
