It Happens Every Spring - Original - Frank Sinatra

It happens every spring, the world is young again

Where children on an up-sa-daisy swing

A carousel with horses freshly painted

The oompapa that says let’s get acquainted

What is that cheer I heard, a fellow stealing third

Your neighbor’s boy became a home-run king

Your dad rolls up his sleeves to clean the attic

Your sixteen year old sister goes dramatic

It happens, yes it happens every spring

The tears that go with sulphur and molasses

The outstretched necks when the ice cream wagon passes

A rippling stream sounds like a rippling heart

As Mother Nature proudly spreads her new green carpet

Be patient, lonely one, your love will come along

Your autumn heart will find the songs that sing

Then raindrops will be dancing to the tune of it

The carefree gay and April, May and June of it

And remember it never rains but what it pours

And maybe raindrops will be whispering, whispering, it’s yours

Be patient, lonely one, your love will come along

It happens, it always happens every spring
