WINTER'S GOT SPRING UP ITS SLEEVE
(Connie Pearce / Arnold Miller)

as recorded by June Christy
with orchestra conducted by Pete Rugolo
1961


So the season makes you sad and sentimental,
Memories it brings to mind
Are things you'd rather leave behind.
Little lady lonely, don't you grieve,
Winter's got Spring up its sleeve!

This decor is more than merely accidental,
A time to plan, a plan to rest,
Get ready to be at your best.
Lonely little lady, just believe,
Winter's got Spring up its sleeve!

Soon you will know
There's no better show
Than the one going on right here.
Let Winter arrange
An impossible change,
It's the fanciest trick of the year!

Though the setting isn't gay and ornamental,
There'll be a sudden change of scene,
It's part of nature's best routine.
When the curtain falls one frosty,
You'll awaken to a world that's bright and new,
For Winter's got Spring,
Winter's got Spring up its sleeve!
