You   can never hold back spring

You can be sure   I will never
             Bm G
Stop believing
G                                        D D7
        The blushing rose they will climb
G                                  D
        Spring ahead or fall behind

Winter dreams the same dream
       Em
Every time

Baby you    can never hold   back    spring

Even though         you've lost your way
                 Em                         F#
The world is dreaming         dream of spring

Bm               F#m
      So close your eyes
Bm           F#m
      Open your heart

To one      who's dreaming of you

Baby You   can never hold   back    spring

Remember everything   that spring
        Bm
Can bring
      D                 A   A/Bb       Bm  G
Baby you     can never hold  back    spring
      D                  A     A/Bb        D/F#
Baby you     can never hold     back    spring
