Don't cry, there'll be another spring

I know our hearts will dance again

And sing again, so wait for me till then.


Be glad, the bird is on the wing

Another time to love

And laugh with me, just wait and see.


I love you now

And I'll love you forever

Oh don't be sad

We'll surely be together.


'Cause the sky is bluer overhead

If you will just believe in me

There'll be another spring.


(bridge)


I love you now

And I'll love you forever

Oh don't be sad

We'll surely be together.


For the sky is bluer overhead

If you will just believe in me

There'll be another spring.


Notes:


Peggy Lee, an American with a Swedish/Norwegian pedigree, was a

multi-talented jazz cabaret singer/song writer. She hailed from North

Dakota USA. She wrote both music and lyrics for a plethora of well known

songs such as 

I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT YOU 

IT'S A GOOD DAY

WHAT MORE CAN A WOMAN DO, 

and THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER  

Over her six decade run, she

collaborated with many venerable musicians, some being Michel Legrand,

Harold Arlen, Francis Lai, Dave Grusin and Duke Ellington. She also had

several songs written specifically for her by the likes of Paul

McCartney and the songwriting/record producer team of Leiber and

Stoller.


There are several versions of this lovely song ascribed to Peggy Lee.

Perhaps one of the better known is the George Shearing work. Peggy

substitutes the word  'For' for the word 'Cause' in the fourth verse in

some recordings and the 3rd and 4th verses are often repeated but the

music is identical.


THERE'LL BE ANOTHER SPRING appeared in the romantic comedy 'Anything Else'

in 2003 sung by Stockard Channing. Director: Woody Allen Leads: 

Woody Allen / Christina Ricci / Danny DeVito / Diana Krall and many

other notables.


THERE'LL BE ANOTHER SPRING was notably released by Capitol Records

as a Peggy Lee/George Shearing EP record in 1959 called 'Beauty and the

Beat!'
