Interesting facts and trivia about April Come She Will. By Songfacts®.

"April Come She Will" was composed by Paul Simon. Running just 1:51, it is the shortest track on the album Sounds of Silence.

This song is also featured in the soundtrack to the film The Graduate. Meant to evoke the capriciousness of a young girl while relating it to how the seasons change, the lyrics were inspired by a nursery rhyme recited by an English girl with whom Simon had an affair. It stands to reason, then, that this would go along with the plot of The Graduate.

Listen for an echo of this song in "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her," from S&G's subsequent album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme.
