One more spring in Minnesota
To come upon Lake Wobegon
Old town, I smell the coffee
If I could see you one more time
That long, long time is always on my mind
I'm just a stranger with memories of days of long ago
Could it have been forty years since then
What happened to us? I'd like to know.
One more time, this dance together
Just you and I, now don't be shy
This time, I know I'll hear the music
If you would hold me one more time
That yard, that tree - you climbed it once with me
We talked of cities we'd live in someday
I left, old friend, and now I'm back again
Please say you missed me since I went away
One more spring in Minnesota
To come upon Lake Wobegon
Old town, I smell the coffee
If I could see you one more time
One more spring, the choir singing
An easter anthem of God's grace
I rise and slip past the sopranos
Back to the third row and take my place
