The old jazz standard "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" performed by Rickie Lee Jones:
Spring is here, there's no mistaking
Robins building nests from coast to coast
My heart tries to sing so I won't hear it breaking
Spring can really hang you up the most. . .
. . .
Love came my way, I thought it would last.
We had our day, 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 molasses was the dose.
Didn't help one 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.
