The Wolfe Tones
Four Seasons
[Chorus]
Oh, the four seasons come and the four seasons go
In a cycle that spins our life away
The new year, it is here and the old one has gone
For time doesn't stop for any one

For three months of the year is the season of the spring
When all the birds begin to sing
Everything's bright and new, spring lambs, trees budding too
It's likened ourselves when just a child

[Chorus]
And the four seasons come and the four seasons go
In a cycle that spins our life away
The new year, it is here and the old one has gone
For time doesn't stop for any one

Now the sun is on the sea and the wind is blowing free
The summertime is here in all its glory
In these months of gay life our cares are all unknown
It's likened to ourselves when we were young

[Chorus]
And the four seasons come and the four seasons go
In a cycle that spins our life away
The new year, it is here and the old one has gone
For time doesn't stop for any one
Soon the moon will hide its light from the heavens in the night
Too fast are these sunny days a-fading
But there's beauty to be seen in these autumn leaves once green
And our lives, like these leaves, are decaying

[Chorus]
And the four seasons come and the four seasons go
In a cycle that spins our life away
The new year, it is here and the old one has gone
For time doesn't stop for any one

Now stormy winds do blow with its frost and sleet and snow
The harshness of wintertime is here
And at this late stage, man reaches his old age
And the cycle meets its end where it began

[Chorus]
And the four seasons come and the four seasons go
In a cycle that spins our life away
The new year, it is here and the old one has gone
For time doesn't stop for any one
For time doesn't stop for any one
