All Four Seasons Lyrics
With her smile as sweet as a warm wind in summer
She's got me flying like a bird in a bright June sky
And then just when she thinks that I've got her number
Brings me down to the ground with her wintry eye
That's my baby
She can be all four seasons in one day
And when the nighttime comes with no interference
To our warm summer love with all its charms
But like a thoroughbred horse she can turn on a sixpence
And I find that I'm back in mistress winter's arms
That's my baby
She can be all four seasons in one day
How will I know?
How can I tell?
Which side of the bed she takes when the day begins
She can be kind
She can be cruel
She's got me guessing like a game show fool
She can change her mind like she changes her sweaters
From one minute to the next it's hard to tell
She blows hot and cold just like stormy weather
She's my gift from the lord or a fiend from hell
That's my baby
She can be all four seasons in one day
Watching the weatherman's been no good at all
Winter, spring, summer, I'm bound for a fall
There are no long term predictions for my baby
She can be all four seasons in one day
How will I know?
How can I tell?
Which side of the bed she takes when the day begins
She can be kind
She can be cruel
She's got me guessing like a game show fool
If it's a sunny day I take my umbrella
Just in case the raindrops start to fall
You could say that I'm just a cautious fellow
I don't want to be caught in a sudden squall
That's my baby
She can be all four seasons in one day
That's my baby
She can be all four seasons in one day
wrote this for his daughter coco..
It's not about his daughter: "And when the nighttime comes with no interference To our warm summer love with all its charms But like a thoroughbred horse"... What the hell is wrong with you? It's about a girl he's infatuated with, probably his wife.
@pistolero983 Sting said in an interview that the song was about his daughter.

Well I dismissively believed for years that he wrote it for EP, the boisterous Lilac, but the fiend from hell, the need for an umbrella ... oh well. Let's hope he didn't write this about his sweet Trudie. It's not that flattering. Sounds more like at the time, he had my wild number because as I recall, like a whirling dervish, I was sprinting through more than a few emotional bases. Wonder when I was cruel, though. Must have been but I don't recall any particulars. I'll try to remember that love is blind and perspective is everything. And who's to say you didn't inspire this all? Not me. I bring out the best in you. Which is? Perspective, as you say, is everything.
I quarreled with my brother I don’t know what about One thing led to another And somehow, we fell out He runs around in rings But why, we cannot tell With sideways leaps—he springs At things invisible
But where is the lady in the pretty gown? Where is the baby—who used to crow and frown? Like a pink rose—round she goes On tip toes With the pony under And then—oh wonder!
Who knows why I stand and bay at her? Who know what I have to say to her?
Up with you, lazybones Over the brink Don’t stop to pick up heart Don’t stop to think
Of all the horrid breakfasts This breakfast’s the worst Who tumbled out of his bed Wrong leg first?
Oh dear—what shall I do? Nothing lasts more than a moment or two.
One of my guys friends said this song was made for me... I am pretty unpredictable... :)
The song is about his daughter Coco (I Blame Coco) youtube.com/watch It even says in that video. "Even this little princess, Coco, The subject of one of Sting's new songs" :)
Of course it's about Coco.
It was interesting to read Pattie Boyd’s comments about her marriage to Erin Clapton. He wrote Layla and Wonderful Tonight for her. Basically Pattie was saying that she was thrilled over a songwriter expressing such love for her, but the actual relationship was not what the songs were hinting at. Those of us who do not write music are enraptured by the creations of gifted songwriters. We conclude without knowing that these artists can not only whack out gorgeous songs, but also speak and write with the same skill, and I think this is not always...

We conclude without knowing that these artists can not only whack out gorgeous songs, but also speak and write with the same skill, and I think this is not always true. Sometimes songwriting is their best mode of communication and we enjoy the benefits.
At the same time, when a writer composes songs, we like to think that each word is personal as though we have been invited to peruse the pages of their private journal. The songwriter, like a poet or author, is indulging in fiction, perhaps mixing in some elements of real life but basically letting the song tell the story it wants to tell.
This song probably was written with Coco in mind but as any songwriter might conclude, sex sells better than a song about your daughter. Hence the references to a lover. The song is a mixture of a few elements that work well together.
