Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

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 trees 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 hoped 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
