That about sums it up . . .

[dancerjodi]

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm, I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever, but I know it isn't spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented, like a nightingale without a song to sing
O why should I have spring fever, when it isn't even spring

I keep wishing I were someone else, walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that I've never heard from a girl I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams, spinning spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing

I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud, or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way, that it might as well be spring
It might as well be spring.

-Oscar Hammerstein II

Did you awaken to Bernadette Peters singing this, too? :)

Yup!

I think I may just need to pick up her new album :) I really like R&H though I had never heard anything from that musical before - I thought this song was appropriate for such a gloomy (and supposed) spring morning.

yeah i heard her sing this too. it's interesting that i used to love bernadette peters when little, then that grew to dislike, but hearing her on the air w/out having to watch her...i now have a new appreciation for her lovely voice.

that song was especially bright today although it didn't get me out of the house any sooner!.

Heh, I had to be at my desk at 7:00 AM so I was in the car when I heard it.

I think her talking voice is very irritating but I like to hear her sing :)
