Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most This song is on my list of Top 20 Songs Of All Time. I am simply mad for it.I have at least 12 artists giving their spin. I play it often at this time of year & I have 2 different versions (Rickie Lee Jones & Ella Fitzgerald) that bookend my Spring Mix that friends are clamoring for: Once I was a sentimental thing Threw my heart away each spring Now a spring romance hasnt got a chance Promised my first dance to winter All Ive got to shows 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! Mornings kiss wakes trees & flowers, & to them Id 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 & I know the score & Ive 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, theres no mistaking Robins building nests from coast to coast My heart tries to sing So they wont hear it breaking Spring can really hang you up the most! College boys are writing sonnets In the tender passion theyre engrossed But Im on the shelf With last years Easter bonnets Spring can really hang you up the most! Love came my way, I hoped it would last We had our day, now thats all in the past Spring came along, a season of song Full of sweet promise But something went wrong! Doctors once prescribed a tonic, Sulfur & molasses was the dose Didnt help a bit, my condition must be chronic Spring can really hang you up the most! All alone, the partys 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! Landesman/Wolf 1955
