It was winter when you told me you were leaving
I cried, I cried, I cried "Please, don't go"
Came the springtime with its love song so deceiving
I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know

Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall

Wintertime, summertime, spring and fall, it's true
I'll always be crying over you

I cried, I cried, I cried "Please, don't go"

Yes, I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know

Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall

It was winter when you told me you were leaving
I cried, I cried, I cried "Please, don't go"
Came the springtime with its love song so deceiving
I cried, oh, how I cried, no one will know

Then the summer came and went with no word at all
I knew that it was over as the leaves began to fall

Wintertime, summertime, spring and fall, it's true
I'll always be crying over you, sweetheart
I'll always be crying over you
