Everything Was Beautiful Lyrics

Janis Ian Everything Was Beautiful

Did you hear the swallow? He was calling out your name He was saying that the winter's almost over

Fortune's on the wing and now that spring is here you will be leaving

Paint the sky in blue and the colors that are you softly fade away

It's a dim horizon My eyes are getting old

I'll see you in the winter when it's cold

The weather's always changing here Without the seasons life would be so bare

Did you hear the swallow He was telling you it's time to go

Everything was beautiful Nothing hurt It didn't even rain

They tell me people sometimes forget what it's like to be alone but i know that I'll remember when you're gone
