SPRING IN MY HEART
Johann Strauss (m) adapted by Hans J Salter / Ralph Freed (l)

as rec by Deanna Durbin w Orch dir by Charles Previn  
July 21st 1939 Hollywood


Life is sweet and gay,
All the world's at play,
There are blossoms,
The sunbeams that glorify the day;
And the gentle breeze
Wafting through the trees
Serenades me with music
Of gentle melodies.

(scat)
Life is sweet to me,
So sweet and heavenly,
Today I'm falling in love with life.

This is May time,
Flowers in bloom
Banish the gloom.
This is playtime,
Joy fills the air in May time.

(scat)
And my heart is so light and gay.

Spring in my heart
Is for ever and ever to be,
And I'll sing to the birds
As they sing to me.
(scat)
Spring with its song
Will for evermore be part of my heart.

(scat)
Spring in my heart
Is for ever and ever to be,
And I'll sing to the birds
As they sing to me.
(scat)
Springtime and I will never part,
Spring is in my heart,
(scat)
Every day I feel Spring in my heart,
In my heart!
