Based on sales, Boyz II Men is one of the most successful R&B groups of all time, having recorded five #1 pop hits between 1992 and 1997. They have since topped sales of 25 million records. Three of their #1 hits, "End of the Road", "I'll Make Love to You", and "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Mariah Carey), set and broke records for the longest period of time a single remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Boyz II Men were originally signed to Motown Records from 1990 to 2000, at which point they were moved to parent label Universal Records. After the 2000 album Nathan Shawn Michael Wanya, Boyz II Men moved to Arista Records. In 2003, Michael McCary left the group due to chronic back problems resulting from scoliosis. As of 2005, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris continue to tour and record as a trio.
Four Seasons Of Loneliness
Boyz II Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you were mine
But now those days are memories in time
Life's empty, without you
By my side
My heart belongs to you
No matter what I try
It always falls apart 'cause they just can't compare to you
You're the one that makes me bow under ball and chain
Reminisce, think about
As I watch 4 seasons to change
Here comes the winter breeze
That chills the air and hits the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe (as springtime)
As springtime makes it's way here, lilac blooms remind me of
The scent of your perfume
Reminisce inside of love,
On summer nights, indeed
I always get the hots for you (ooh)
Go skinny dipping in the ocean where we used to do
No no chance the leaves of trees are bare, when you're not here
It doesn't feel the same
It doesn't feel the same
Oh
Remember
The nights when (remember the night)
When we closed our eyes (when we closed our eyes)
And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time
Every time I think about these things I shared
(Think about these things I shared)
I'm not gonna cry, 'cause I get so emotional (I get so emotional)
Underneath it makes me think I'm under ball and chain
Reminisce in our love
As I watch 4 seasons change
Here comes the winter breeze that
That chills the air and hits the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
The springtime makes it's way here lilac blooms reminds me of
The scent of your perfume (Ooh)
On summer nights, indeed
I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dipping in the ocean where we used to do
No no chance the leaves of trees are bare when you're not here
It doesn't feel the same
This loneliness has crushed my heart (it's killing me baby)
Please let me love again (just one more thing)
Cause I'm devoted girl find me and ease my pain
But 4 seasons will bring
The loneliness again
Here comes the winter breeze that
Chills the air and hits the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
When springtime makes it way here,
Lilac blooms reminds me of
The scent of your perfume (Summer nights)
On summer nights, indeed
I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dipping in the ocean where we used to do
(Go skinny dipping oh,oh)
No no chance the leaves of trees are bare when you're not here
It doesn't feel the same
Remember,
The warmth of,
Days gone by.
Four Seasons of Loneliness is a nostalgic, sentimental song about missing someone who was once an important part of the singer's life. The lyrics describe how the singer longs for days gone by when the person was still with him, but now those days are just memories. Life feels empty without the person by his side, and though he tries to move on and find someone new, no one can compare to the one he lost. Every change of season reminds him of the times they had together, and he reminisces about their love as he watches the world around him shift and transform.
As the first verse sets the tone for the entire song, it highlights the nostalgia and longing that pervades the lyrics. The singer’s desperate need for the person who’s now gone is evident throughout the song, especially in the lines "Every time I think about these things I shared, I'm not gonna cry, 'cause I get so emotional." The song paints a picture of someone who's emotionally stuck in the past and can't move on from what he's lost.
Line by Line Meaning
I long for, the warmth of, days gone by
I yearn for the comfortable and cozy feeling of the past.
When you were mine
When I had you by my side.
But now those days are memories in time
Those past moments are now mere recollections.
Life's empty, without you
My life is void without you.
By my side
With you there to support me.
My heart belongs to you
My heart only beats for you.
No matter what I try
Despite all my efforts.
When I get the courage to know somebody new
When I am brave enough to meet someone else.
It always falls apart 'cause they just can't compare to you
It never works out because they never measure up to you.
You're the one that makes me bow under ball and chain
You are the one that makes me feel burdened and trapped.
Reminisce, think about
Recall and ponder upon.
As I watch 4 seasons to change
As I observe the shifting seasons.
Here comes the winter breeze
Now comes the chilling wind of winter.
That chills the air and hits the snow
That cools the atmosphere and touches the ice on the ground.
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe (as springtime)
I envision kissing you during the holiday season, as a symbol of new beginnings.
As springtime makes it's way here, lilac blooms remind me of
In the arrival of spring, the blooming lilacs bring back memories of the scent of your perfume.
Reminisce inside of love,
Think fondly of the love that we shared.
On summer nights, indeed
During warm summer evenings, without a doubt.
I always get the hots for you (ooh)
I always feel a strong attraction to you.
Go skinny dipping in the ocean where we used to do
Take a plunge and swim naked in the sea where we once did.
No no chance the leaves of trees are bare, when you're not here
The trees lose their leaves, but I am left with nothing when you are not with me.
It doesn't feel the same
It is not the same without you.
Oh
An exclamation that conveys strong emotions.
Remember
Recall and remember.
The nights when (remember the night)
Those nights, remember them.
When we closed our eyes (when we closed our eyes)
When we shut our eyes to the world.
And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time
And promised that we would love each other forever.
Every time I think about these things I shared
Whenever I reminisce about the things we had.
I'm not gonna cry, 'cause I get so emotional (I get so emotional)
I will not weep, even though I am deeply moved.
Underneath it makes me think I'm under ball and chain
However, amidst the emotions, I feel trapped and burdened.
This loneliness has crushed my heart (it's killing me baby)
This isolation has shattered my heart (it is harming me, my love).
Please let me love again (just one more thing)
Allow me to love once more (just one last chance).
Cause I'm devoted girl find me and ease my pain
As I remain faithful, please find me and alleviate my suffering.
But 4 seasons will bring
Yet four seasons will come and go.
The loneliness again
The feeling of solitude will return.
