You Must Believe in Spring

1967
Music Michel Jean Legrand
Lyrics Alan Bergman
Marilyn Bergman
Jacques Louis Demy

When lonely feelings chill
The meadows of your mind
Just think if Winter comes
Can Spring be far behind

Beneath the deepest snows
The secret of a rose
Is merely that it knows
You must believe in Spring

Just as a tree is sure
Its leaves will reappear
It knows it’s emptiness
Is just the time of year…
