Lyrics

When springtime zephyrs kiss the breeze
And murmur softly thru the trees
Vienna’s Woods are murmuring, too
They’re gently calling me to you
In spring the stars are bright above
And fancy lightly turns to love
The days are filled with sunshine
And the nights are filled with bliss
Nothing can compare with this
With lovely flowers and verdant bowers
And the nights are filled with bliss
Nothing can compare with this
Sweetest tale of the Vienna Woods

Come let us dance and sing
Give welcome to the spring
Two hearts are singing, two lips are clinging
Under Vienna’s skies we’ll find a paradise
We’ll find a love that’s true
In a dreamland for two

Ah! my love this night is ours, just we two
Here among the fragrant flowers, love is true
Let us waltz tonight, for tonight love is new
Vienna’s woods hold sweetest delight
Ah, my love, ah, my love
Hear the birds sweetly sing
Ah, my love, ah, my love
It’s the murmur of spring
Ah, my love, ah, my love
Life’s a wonderful dream
When the springtime, lovely springtime
Brings a wedding ring time in Vienna’s woods
Ah, my love, ah, my love
Can’t you see, life would be
Like a dream, it would seem
Like a sweet melody
Ah, my love, ah, my love
Love’s the thing, love is king
When there’s spring in the air
In Vienna’s lovely woods
