Exaltation on a Cool Kitchen Floor

I wanted to come visit

You waiting in the springtime

When the leaves changeI wanted to come visit

You waiting in the springtime

When the leaves changeThe ground outside is begging

For that newness that surrounds us

As we dance back through the screen doorIn the sunlight of mid-April

But the glow won't stop the smiles

That are spreading on our faces

As we fall down on the kitchen floorAnd she's laughing about something

That she had heard earlier

And I can't help noticing that she

Is sitting closer to me than she ever has before
