WHEN YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE SPRINGTIME IN YOUR HEART
Jessie Mathews 1930
Ray Noble and His Orchestra, voc. Al Bowlly  1934

When you're young
It's always spring
And life is a happy song
How we laugh at care
And sing as we roll along

Though the years go rushing by
And spring is a memory
Life will always be
The same sweet song to me

(Chorus)
When you've got a little springtime in your heart
You can laugh at all the wintry winds that blow
Though December comes your way
For you the birds will sing
And the buttercups come peeping through the snow

You'll be young, you'll be in love your whole life through
Just as young, and more in love, then, as the stars
And each happy scene
Will be evergreen
As the sweetest morning in June
When you've got a little springtime in your heart




*alternate ending
And each memory will be evergreen, 
Like that early morning in Spring.
When you've got a little Springtime in your heart.
