"It Might As Well Be Spring":
Hammerstein's best lyric. Note the similes. The perfect song for Dick Haymes. Rodgers explained the music by saying that
it depended on the movement of a puppet on a string. Once he established the musical phrase for that, everything else
fell into place. Spring, we've been been waiting for you a long time and the difference between poetry and prose is the
difference between speaking voice and the singing voice.
