Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh, oh
Goodbye, Summer, hate to see you go
I wasn't ready for autumn wind to blow
So lonely
We had a fine time holding hands in June
Warm in a sunshine, watching love in bloom
My heart is frozen in this place
Waiting for another summer's day
To bring you back my way
Ooo
Hello, Winter, watch the swirling snow
I didn't have a blanket for the cold
So lonely now
My heart is frozen in this place
Waiting for another summer's day
To bring you back my way
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
[Bridge:]
I'll be waiting under the poplar tree
Anticipating when you'll come back to me
In the spring
Oh, in the spring, yeah
Hello, Summer, a kiss from my old friend
Been such a long time, tell me how you've been
So lonely now
Yeah
My heart is frozen in this place
Waiting for another summer's day
To bring you back my way
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Goodbye, Summer, I hate to see you go
