Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year

Performed by Deanna Durbin
Recorded December 15, 1944
Written by Frank Loesser
From the film "Christmas Holiday" (1944)

January and Februay were never so empty and grey
Tragically I feel like crying
Without you, my darling, I'm dying
But let's rather put it this way

Spring will be a little late this year
A little late arriving in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April of old
You have left me and winter continues cold

As if to say, spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving the music it made in my heart
Yes time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year

Yes time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year
