Spring Is Here

"Spring Is Here" is a 1938 popular song composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Lorenz Hart for the musical I Married an Angel (1938), where it was introduced by Dennis King and Vivienne Segal. Rodgers and Hart had previously written a song entitled "Spring Is Here in Person", which served as the title song for a 1929 Broadway production (cinematized in 1930; see Spring Is Here). Theatrical producer Josh Logan, a longtime associate of Rodgers & Hart, would opine that "the most touching [of Hart's lyrics] are those about unrequited love [with the 1938 song] 'Spring is Here' [being] one of the greatest examples". Hart had had a romantic interest in I Married an Angel leading lady Vivienne Segal who turned down more than one marriage proposal from him.
