Spring in Manhattan
Meredith d'Ambrosio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starts after dark
After a lazy afternoon
In Central Park
Washington Square may be where
You'll feel her first warm touch
Down in the village, you'll find
Spring in Manhattan
Never stays long
Still if you fall in love
She'll bless you with a song
And if you'll listen to every word
The song she'll sing will bring
Spring in Manhattan
To stay all winter long
In "Spring in Manhattan," Meredith d'Ambrosio takes on the theme of spring as a new beginning, a time of fresh starts, and a warmer season of hope. The song establishes that Spring arrives in Manhattan when it gets dark, after a lazy afternoon spent in Central Park. This phrase is perhaps a metaphor for the low points in life because, after a period of rest, rejuvenation, and recharging oneself, the dark night brings with it the promise of light and happiness.
The song also brings out how spring's warmth touches everyone, especially the people of Manhattan. Further on, D'Ambrosio talks about Washington Square, a place where an individual feels the first warm touch of spring. Upon reaching the village, one will encounter a more intense form of Spring, which is almost dangerous. Manhattan’s Spring rarely lasts for long, yet even if you encounter it briefly, you will get a beautiful spring song as a reward, and this song will keep Manhattan's Spring feeling present throughout the winter.
