Verse: Jan-u-ar-y  and Feb-ru-ar-y were nev-er so emp-ty and gray
Tra-gic' - lly  I feel like  cry-ing 
"With-out you, my dar-ling, I'm  dy-ing."
But let's rath-er  put it this  way:

Chorus: SPRING WILL BE ____ A LIT-TLE  LATE  THIS  YEAR,__
A lit-tle late  ar-riv-ing in  my lone-ly world o-ver here
For you  have  left me,  and  where is  our Ap-ril of old?
You   have  left  me,  and win-ter con-tin-ues  cold, 
As if  to say  Spring  will be____ a lit-tle slow  to start,___
A lit-tle slow   re-viv-ing  mu-sic  it made in my heart.
Yes, time  heals all things, so I need-n't  cling to fear,
It's mere-ly that SPRING  WILL BE______________ 
A   LIT-TLE    LATE    THIS      YEAR.________________
