Columbine - C. W. McCall

She was born in the brief mountain springtime

Blue in the late mountain snow

And she grew in the sunlight of summer

But she knew when the aspen turned gold

That she had grown old

Columbine, columbine

Blue in the Rockies

Will I miss you, while you were away?

Will I see you next summer, wild on the mountain?

Will you be there, when I pass your way?

She was there in the brief mountain springtime

Blue in the late mountain snow

And we lived in the sunlight of summer

But I knew when the aspen turned gold

That I had grown old

Columbine, columbine

Blue in the Rockies

Will you miss me, when I’ve gone away?

Will I see you next summer, wild on the mountain?

Will you be there, when I pass your way?

Columbine, columbine

Blue in the Rockies

Will you miss me, when I’ve gone away?
