Just like a breath of spring
You came my way
I heard a bluebird sing
But not today

'Cause it's wintertime
And the leaves are brown
Since you went away
(strings):
My world fell down
(my world fell down)

My world fell down
Fell down

I see your suitcase lying
Packed up to go
I stop myself from crying
How I don't know
