Hey All, I am working on a project and I am trying to think of musical theatre songs about the seasons. Either with the names in the title, or about the season itself, or that sums up the spirit of the season. I have done the search the web option, but you folks are a deeper and more nuanced lexicon of musical theatre knowledge! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Another one from Camelot is If Ever Would I Leave You, which I've always had a fondness for.
all four seasons:
Winter, from The Visit.
Summer Nights from Grease
Another Autumn from Paint Your Wagon
Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most (that might just be a Barbra Streisand song and not from a musical)

I believe it was originally sung by June Christy, but no Spring... is not from a musical.

One of my favorites is Think Spring from Come Summer.

Also:

Five Minutes of Spring (The Happiest Girl in the World)
The Springtime Cometh (Flahoooey)
Spring Is Here (I Married an Angel)
Later Than Spring (Sail Away)

And on a comic note, April in Fairbanks (New Faces of 1956).

For summer, there's Summertime Love from Greenwillow, and the title song from Come Summer.
