APRIL IN MY HEART
(Hoagy Carmichael / Helen Meinardi)

as recorded by
Teddy Wilson & his Orchestra
(vocal - Billie Holiday)
Nov 9th 1938 New York


There's snowflakes in the sky
And geese are flying high,
But there's April in my heart again!
The devil's got his due,
Love's holiday is through;
Love and I have made a happy start again!

Though leaves lie on the ground,
The world just turned around,
It isn't Fall at all, you see,
It's Spring that I have found!

There's frost in Central Park,
At five it's almost dark,
What's the difference when you've heard love's sweet amen?
There's snowflakes in the sky
And geese are flying high,
But there's April in my heart again!
