I lived through all those lonely summers
When the days were warm and long,
But I never shared the comfort
Of a love so deep and strong,
And yet still I kept on waiting
How I longed to find romance,
While the others always found it
I just never got the chance.

I watched the leaves of autumn falling
And felt the winds begin to blow,
I walked the empty streets alone
For I had nowhere to go,
And yet still I kept on searching
But my tears I couldn't hide,
While I tried to keep on smiling
How I hurt so much inside.

And then I felt the cold of winters
When the chills did fill the air,
And I had no one to hold me
For there was nobody there,
And yet still I kept believing
That one day it would come true,
And my dreams just never ended
Dreaming was all I could do.

I lived through all those lonely spring-times
And I watched the flowers bloom,
And I longed to find my lover
But I only found more gloom,
And yet still I kept on hoping
That one day my life would start,
But the years passed by unnoticed
Love awake my sleeping heart.
