Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most - Ella Fitzgerald

Once I was a sentimental thing

Threw my heart away each Spring;

Now a Spring romance hasn't got a chance

Promised my first dance to Winter;

All I've got to show's a splinter for my little fling

Spring this year has got me feeling like a horse that never left the post;

I lie in my room staring up at the ceiling

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

Morning's kiss wakes TREEES and flowers

And to them I'd like to drink a toast;

I walk in the park just to kill lonely hours

Spring Can really Hang You Up The Most

All afternoon those birds twitter twit

I know the tune "This is love this is it "

Heard it before and I know the score

And I've decided that Spring is a bore

Love seemed sure around the New Year

Now it's April love is just a ghost;

Spring arrived on time only what became of you dear

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

Spring is here there's no mistaking

Robins building nests from coast to coast;

My heart tries to sing so they won't hear it breaking

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

College boys are writing sonnets

In the "Tender passion" they're engrossed;

But I'm on the shelf with last YEAR's Easter bonnets

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

Love came my way I hope it would last;

We had our day now that's all in the past

Spring came along a season of SUN

Full of sweet promise but SOMETHING went wrong

Doctors once prescribed a tonic

"Sulphur and MOLASSES" was the dose;

Didn't help a bit my condition must be chronic

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

All alone the party's over

Old man Winter was a gracious host;

But when you keep praying for snow to hide the clover

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most
