Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer Lyrics

I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by summer
But my quiet nights will be spent alone

You said there would be warm love in springtime
That was when you started to be cold
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find myself all alone

You said then you'd be the life in autumn
Said you'd be the one to see the way
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find my love has gone away

Why didn't you stay?

I love this song. I have to say it is one of the saddest songs ever

I agree, it is a sad song... When you're in love, it's hard to picture the relationship ending, or being alone. And then, when something goes wrong you're lost.. because, well... that wasn't supposed to happen to you........ i think that's what stevie wonder is trying to convey... by asking simply, "Why didn't you stay," he shows his vulnerability, confusion and pain.... I love this song

My wife died in summer. I never expected her to go away. Now I am left to carry on alone in the cold of winter.

A truly sad song that would bring tears to the eyes of anyone who has lost anyone that they love!

I think the song is about the death of his mother? Not a torch song about fickle romantic love gone wrong but rather a song about someone dying. A deep sorrowful melancholy, it is really quite beautiful.
