02 Jun 13 - 08:52 PM (#3522066) Subject: Lyr Add: SPRING SONG (Alan Bell) From: Jim Dixon SPRING SONG As sung by Alan Bell on "The Definitive Collection" (2005) 1. Early one evening as I strolled along, I heard a girl singing an old country song To welcome the new days, the coming of spring, The bleak winter over, new life to begin. CHORUS: Love is a pleasure; love is a pain. Love is desire to share yet again The sweetness of caring, the joy and the tears, Love everlasting, enduring the years. 2. She sang it so sweetly; she sang it so fine, I thought of my own life and all that was mine, For having and holding are better than dreams, And lucky in love means more than it seems. 3. A time comes for living; a time comes for love, And spring is a good time to give all you have, For seasons will come and so quickly roll on, But spring brings that young girl to sing the old song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwg1hwtKXiA |

I finally noted these words but as to the provenance, I don't have any information. If anyone does, please share! "I left her still singing that beautiful song I hope she will find her own love before long To share all the good days, the summers for years The sweetness of caring, the joys and the tears" |

Did he do another songbook? Can't find it on YouTube either, though there are lots of his songs there. It was on an LP he brought out in 1982: title (I think) "The Band in the Park". (Poulton-le-Fylde recordings.) |

26 May 20 - 06:26 PM (#4055378) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Spring Song (Alan Bell) From: leeneia Now I remember - the tune is one I first heard as a German folk song, 'Romarin Heide.' I have transcribed the tune, and if any trusted Mudcatters want a JPG of the melody and chords, they can PM me. I called it Spring Song. I think that if I were going to sing this song, I would invent a second theme for alternate verses. This theme gets repetitious, I think. |
