Lyrics
Verse 1
Streetcars winding past the garden
Gentle hats tip low as they glide
Paper fans and laughter drifting
Through the morning’s blushing tide
Blossoms floating on the water
Eyes in wonder looking up high
Time slows down in drifting colors
Springtime blushing in the sky
Chorus
Petals falling all around me
Soft as spring on the breeze
Promises in gentle motion
Painted pink on the trees
Post-Chorus
Oh, so sweet
Oh, petals sweep
Verse 2
Midday sun on silent rivers
Quiet laughter in the park
Memories tied like ribbons
Under branches in the dark
Pre-Chorus
Season comes, season goes
All that's golden soon will grow
Chorus
Petals falling all around me
Soft as spring on the breeze
Promises in gentle motion
Painted pink on the trees
Post-Chorus
Oh, so sweet
Oh, petals sweep
Bridge
Lanterns sway as evening gathers
Footsteps echo down the stone lane
Cherry rain atop silk parasols
Smiles linger, hearts remain
Chorus
Petals falling all around me
Soft as spring on the breeze
Promises in gentle motion
Painted pink on the trees
Post-Chorus
Oh, so sweet
Oh, petals sweep
Oh, so sweet
Oh, petals sweep
Outro
Morning dew on pale pink pathways
Distant laughter fading slow
Wish we could stay forever beneath them
But the petals always go
Moonlight silver on the branches
Soft footsteps in the spring air
Hold a moment in the silence
Cherry blossom everywhere
