Song 05 - Robins of Spring, Windmills of Summer
Music by Michael Gilman
Lyrics by Michael Gilman and Rosally Saltsman 

Listen to a snippet 
(for women listeners)  



Robins of spring
Windmills of summer
Softly sung rhapsodies
Of hope that was new

I still recall
All my dreams till September
And I can remember when I thought they’d come true

And if you knew how long I believed
All of this would happen
Now I sit quietly thinking of what you said

We will walk down
All the roads of a lifetime
Together, forever
Is how it will be

And we will recall
Every sweet new sensation
In celebration of
Our life that’s to be

And if you knew how long I believed
All of this would happen
Now I sit longingly
Amidst echoes of what you said

Throughout every spring
Till the end of each summer
We’ll watch as robins
Disappear in soft flight

And I will be there
With the coming of winter
And into each day until
The end of each night

And if you knew how long I believed
All of this would happen
Now I sit all alone
Wishing that you were here

Robins of spring
Disappeared in the autumn
And I have forgotten
The color of their wings
