Words & Music by Marilyn & Alan Bergman, Jacques Demy & Michel Legrand
Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1976


Em7  G/B    A7sus4   A7        F#m7                Bm   Bm7
When lonely feelings chill the mea - dows of your mind,

G     G/B      A7  A7/9  A7         Gdim    A7-9    DM7
Just think if Win - ter comes, can Spring be far behind?

G#m7        Fdim(III)  C#7   F#m7          Cdim   B7
Beneath the  deepest  snows,     the secret of a rose

Em7   G/B    A7/9     A7       Gdim     D        B7
   Is merely that it knows you must believe in Spring!


Em7  G/B  A7sus4   A7       F#m7             Bm   Bm7
Just as a tree is sure its leaves will reappear;

G     G/B       A7   A7/9  A7      Gdim     A7-9    DM7
   It knows its emp - ti - ness is just the time of year

G#m7            Fdim(III) C#7   Gm7           Gdim      B7 
     The frozen mountain dreams    of April's melting streams;

Fm7               Fdim    Bb7          Gdim             Dm7
     How crystal clear it seems -- you must believe in Spring!


Em7  G/B   A7sus4   A7        F#m7              Bm   Bm7
You must believe in love, and trust it's on its way,

G    G/B      A7    A7/9 A7      Gdim      A7-9    DM7
Just as the sleep - ing rose a - waits the kiss of May

G#m7        Fdim(III)  C#7   F#m7                Cdim     B7
    So in a   world of snow,      of things that come and go,

Em7   G/B     A7sus4     A7        Gdim     A7-9    B7
Where what you think you know, you can't be certain of,

G5   G5/F#    G/B     A7sus4 A7+5  Bm
  You must believe in Spring  and love.
