Once there was a thing called
spring,
When the world was writing
verses like yours and mine.
All the lads and girls would
sing,
When we sat at little tables and
drank May wine.
Now April, May, and June are
sadly out of tune, life has stuck a pin in the balloon.
Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me,
maybe it's because nobody needs me?
Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear! Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves
me, spring is here, I hear!
