SOFT AS SPRING
(Alec Wilder)

Benny Goodman & His Orch. (vocal: Helen Forrest) - 1941
Helen Merrill - 1957


Soft as Spring
The bluebird's wing
The song you sing 
Is like heaven on earth to me

Cool new dawn
A wide-eyed fawn
Are like your song
They are heaven on earth to me

A sudden need to hold you
A sudden need to love
And in my arms enfold you
Then I'll ask nothing more of you

Soft as Spring
The bluebird's wing
The song you sing 
Is like heaven to me
