Spring Will Be a Little Late this Year. Frank Loesser wrote the music and lyrics for a 1944 film Christmas Holiday. The longing for the end of winter is universal and the song suggest that maybe spring will provide a return to happiness . Sara Vaughan provides a winning performance with just a tinge of the sadness conveyed in the lyrics.

NOTE: Loesser had a very rocky marriage with his very difficult first wife. Friends described her as 
               " The Evil of Two Loessers !"
