As performed by George Jones:
The seasons come, the seasons go
We get a little sunshine, rain and snow
Just the way that it was planned to be
But there's no seasons in my heart
While you play the leading part
'Cause the flowers will bloom eternally.
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
And darlin' we could be happy after all.
As it is in nature's plan,
No season gets the upper hand
Oh, how I try to keep this fact in mind.
The trees are bare, the cold wind blows
And by experience we should know
The winter comes but spring is close behind.
Your leaving will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
And darlin' we could be happy after all.
As performed by Willie Nelson:
The seasons come, the seasons go
We get a little sunshine, rain and snow
Just the way that it was planned to be
But there are no seasons in my heart
While you play the leading part
And my love for you will bloom eternally
Your leavin' will bring autumn sorrow
And my tears like withered leaves will fall
But spring could bring some glad tomorrow
And, darlin' we could be happy after all
(Repeat last verse)
And, darlin' we could be happy after all
