When the Springtime Flowers Bloom. Copyright, 1887, by Isidore Prager. Words and Music by J. W. Wood. 
Deep in my heart there is a sigh For my loved one o'er the sea. Again I hear his parting words: "I'll come again to thee." Ah! I'll come to thee, I'll come to thee When the Springtime flowers bloom, And sweet fragrance tills the air, When the song of joyous birds Makes all earth seem bright and fair; Then my bonny lad will come 'Mid the roses sweet perfume, For he promised he'd return to me When the Springtime flowers bloom. 
When thou art near, my darling boy, Life seems a pleasure to me. Come when the sun is shining bright, Come then from over the sea. Ah!-When the Springtime flowers bloom, And sweet fragrance fills the air, When the song of joyous birds Makes all earth seem bright and fair, Then my bonnie lad will come, 'Mid the roses sweet perfume. For he promised he'd return to me When the Springtime flowers bloom. 
Oft I dream the Springtime's here, And I sigh with aching heart, When I wake to find, alas! That still we're far apart; But then my thoughts would steal away And dispel all care and gloom, For I know he will return to me, When the Springtime flowers bloom.
