I nev-er dreamed you’d leave in sum-mer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by sum-mer
But my qui-et nights will be spent alone
You said there would be warm love in spring-time
That was when you start-ed to be cold
I nev-er dreamed you’d leave in sum-mer
But now I find my-self all alone
You said then you’d be the life in au-tumn
Said you’d be the one to see the way
I nev-er dreamed you’d leave in sum-mer
But now I find my love has gone away
Why didn’t you stay
This song has so many meanings. I lost my constant companion of 15 years this summer. He brought to me a meaning I had never known before in my life. He came when I felt lost and helpless. He was a small cuddly little puppy. He turned into a beautiful loving and endlessly happy dog animal. He brought back my life. I'll meet you at the rainbow bridge Max! I love you and miss you, RIP!
June 18th, 2009 my husband of 38 years left for a trip to Brussels, on his way home he had a heart attack and passed away. He was a Captain for Continental and was flying a 777 into Newark. He was my rock and now 4 years later I still sit and listen to this song every night before I go to bed. I still miss him as much today as I did then. RIP my sweetheart.
all those I have loved have passed on ....whether it be from cancer...heart disease and others much too soon...I pray every day that they are at peace...and tears form as I sit and listen to this song....God Bless them all...
Detractors begone. Go back to your electronica for you will never know what music is. This is absolutely beautiful. I love Stevie's original and Joan's version as well.
My wife left me in summer. August 28th. I should say my beautiful bride of 47 years did not leave me she was stolen away by cancer. It is so hard being half of what you used to be.
I miss her so.
