Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most - Judith O'Higgins, Dave O'Higgins & His'n'Hers

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
