Spring and Fall 1912 Irving Berlin

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 22 Jul 2002

The Spring was here,
the skies were blue,
the birds seemed glad to sing
the very sweetest song they knew,
ev'ry happiness to bring.
Sweet nature dressed in colours bright,
the flowers brought good cheer,
the Spring was here,
the world was right,
and I knew that you were near....
The Fall was here, alas!
I found that the birds had flown away,
the skies were dark for miles around,
and the whole world seemed to pray, darling.
The sun had gone, the flowers died,
and all nature looked forlorn;
it seemed to me the angels cried,
and I knew that you had gone.
