It Might as Well Be Spring. Live (at my house), December 15, 1995. Yes, I turned down the TV eventually

Rodgers & Hammerstein

I'm as restless as a willow in a wind storm
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring

I'm starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring

I keep wishing I was somewhere else
Walking down a strange new street
Hearing words that I have never heard
From a girl I've yet to meet

I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams
I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
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

in concert, a Hugh Prestwood song

What can you do when Allison walks into your evening
Touches you with words that finally have some meaning
Draws you paintings of the islands you've been planning on seeing

MJ's version of Hugh Prestwood's "Love Is A Cross" is beautiful.  There are only two video's of it that I know of and both are audio only, so I decided to figure out how to play it the old-fashioned way, i.e, by simply listening.   Yesterday I recorded it and posted to Youtube what I'm pretty sure is how MJ played it. p

I altered the ending in that Michael changed keys for the finale while I decided to alter the melody a bit to get a similar lift to the ending.  Given the particularity of the fret hand fingering required, I believe the key change was done with a capo.
