They Say It's Spring Lyrics - Blossom Dearie - Blossom Dearie

When I was young I lived in a world of dreams 

Of moods and myths and illusionary schemes 

Though now I'm much more grown up 

I fear that I must own up 

To the fact that I'm in doubt of 

What the modern cynics shout of 

They say it's spring 

This feeling light as a feather 

They say this thing 

This magic we share together 

Came with the weather too 

They say it's May 

That's made me daft as a daisy 

It's May, they say 

That gave the whole world this crazy 

Heavenly, hazy hue 

I'm a lark 

On the wing 

I'm the spark of a firefly's fling 

Yet to me 

This must be 

Something more than a seasonal thing 

Could it be spring 

Those bells that I can hear ringing 

It may be spring 

But when the robins stop singing 

You're what I'm clinging to 

Though they say it's spring 

It's you 

If poets sing 

That when a hard sympathetic 

It's merely spring 

Then poets plights are pathetic 

Though I'm poetic too 

They say it's spring 

For lovers, there's where the lure is 

That evil thing 

For which September the cure is 

This, they are sure is true 

Though I know 

That it's so 

That my fancy may turn in the spring 

With the right 

One in sight 

One can find a perpetual thing 

Did I need spring 

To bring the ring that you bought me 

Though it was spring 

That wondrous day that you caught me 

Darling I thought we knew 

That it wasn't spring 

'Twas you
