Thank God ; my February song of joy and hope, written in Feb 2018

As someone who is not a fan of the long, cold, dark Winter nights, this is my joyous expression of relief at the first signs of Spring.

Lyrics

1. The days are getting longer, thank God,
And I am feeling stronger, thank God.
It seemed to me dark nights would never end.
Didn't know when I'd hear birdsong again.
But now I can walk outside And hear the blackbird sing.
Reminding me that Winter Must give way to Spring.
The Days are getting longer, thank God.
The sunshine's getting stronger, thank God.
Thank God!

2. SO many friends who love me, thank God.
They seem to think well of me, thank God.
Days lengthen and shorten the nights.
The sun shines so warm and so bright.
And now, when I need someone,I hear a dear friend say:
"You can call me any time. I'm never far away."
The days are getting longer, thank God.
And friendship's growing stronger, thank God.
Thank God!

Bridge:
In Deepest, darkest Winter,
When there's no warmth at all.
When all the tears have frozen
Before they even fall:
Remember that Spring will come.
Remember, one day soon, you'll see the sun;
The clouds will blow away and let through a brighter day.
Thank God, thank God, Thank God!

Coda:
The days are getting longer, thank God.
