I have someone looking for lyrics and if possible the music for an old Glee Club song which has the first line "To springtime, to springtime, cold winter has passed". Title is unknown. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, dvanards. putting in 'glee club songs' on a google search came up with a list of organisations, some with info on their repertoires. You might find what you are looking for there.

This may not be the one, but there's a song (or poem?) titled "'Tis springtime":

'Tis Springtime
~ Author Unknown ~

'Tis springtime, 'tis springtime, Cold winter is past;
Warm breezes are blowing and May's here at last;
The birds are returning, Their songs fill the air;
And meadows are smiling with blossoms so fair.

'Tis Springtime, 'tis springtime, all nature's reborn;
Shy flowers, fresh grasses the hillsides adorn;
The orchards and woodlands with colors are gay,
The glad earth rejoices through all the bright day.

(From: HERE and HERE.

~Masato

These lyrics are correct.
It was, and is, a lovely song...

Music notation with lyrics at that link. Neither of masato's links work any longer.

Here are Masato's links. Note I chose the 2002 versions of both pages, though there are more recent archived versions available.

cnd, that's great. How'd you do it? Or do you have a link to a place that would explain it?? Don't want to waste your time.

No worries, it's super easy once you know about it. Archive.org has been archiving websites since the mid 1990s, periodically "crawling" websites available on the internet to save them. I've found very few websites that weren't archived by them at least once if the site was up for more than a year or two.

I've started checking to make sure most of the links I share here on here are archived there first so if they do go dead we've got a backup. To check, just go to archive.org and paste the link in the top box (titled "Wayback Machine") and hit enter. If it's been archived, a bar graph will show up along the top with the dates it was archived. If not, it will offer you to let it archive it by just clicking a button (I believe it says "archive this page")
