What poetic lyrics. And what a nice reminder of the purity of Garfunkel's voice.

One of my favorite S&G tunes as well.
Well, young lady, that was a popular song in of the college coffeehouses I frequented back in those days. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again. The folks who sang it did not do it as well as Art and Paul, but it was lovely nevertheless.

One of my favorite songs of my youth- April Come She Will. From Simon & Garfunkel's Sounds of Silence Album, 1966. I loved the song then when I was 12, but it's even more meaningful to me now that I'm older.
Written by Paul Simon, usually sung by Art Garfunkel.
Lyrics:
April, come she will When streams are ripe and swelled with rain May, she will stay Resting in my arms again
June, she'll change her tune In restless walks she'll prowl the night July, she will fly And give no warning to her flight
August, die she must The autumn winds blow chilly and cold September, I'll remember A love once new has now grown old
Truly a timeless song.
Here is Art Garfunkel singing it in 1966:
...and here he is singing it 55 years later, at age 80 , in 2021...Incredibly beautiful.
