May, Be Good to Me

This is the first song I've written, based on pondering the word "maybe".  It's a standards-kind-a ballad, and the melody is as wistful as the lyrics...
====================
Every year it's always the same:
Spring fever comes with a handsome new flame.
April's ecstatic; singing in the rain!
But by May's finale I'm alone once again...

May: be good to me.
Live up to my fantasy.
Let this be the year he'll stay
through May.

May, be good to me.
Longing for a long-term "we".
Can't we find a way
through May?

Steamy summer nights just wilt me
when I'm in my solitude.
Walking through the streets alone
just puts me in a wistful mood.

May, be kind this time.
Let this be the year that I'm
through with searching, finally fine.
Find a man who says he mine!
Maybe this time, love will stay
through May.
