SPRING CAN REALLY HANG YOU UP THE MOST

Once, I was a sentimental thing
Threw my heart away each spring
Now, a spring romance doesn't stand a chance
Promised my first dance to Winter

All I've got to show's a splinter for my little flame
Spring this year has got me feeling like a horse that never left the past
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 stroll in the park just to kill lonely hours
Spring can really hang you up the most

All afternoon, the birds tweet-a-tweet
I know the tune, this is love, this is it
I 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, but what became of you, dear?
Spring can really hang you up the most

Spring is here, there's no mistaking
Robin's building nests from coast to coast
My heart tries to sing, so they won't hear it breakin'
Spring can really hang you up the most

College boys are writing sonnets
In the tender passion, they're engrossed
But you'd find me write on the shelf
Just like 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 date, now it's 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 and molesses was the dose
It didn't help a bit, my condition must be chronic
Spring can really hang you up the most

I'm all alone, the party's over
Old man Winter was a gracious host
But if you keep prayin' for snow to hide the clover
Spring can really hang you up the most
