My first time hearing this song was in Poetic Justice. Brings me to tears every time 😭... Today is a day for celebration! Happy 70th Birthday Stevie Wonder 🎈
Beautiful performance, we aren't getting another Stevie in any other lifetime, such truth in his voice and a feeling like no other, its true he could see through his music
I love this song. I am stationed in England and my 16 year old brother was taken away in a riptide yesterday. I immediately thought of this song. Such excruciating pain I am in,but I am blessed to have these words to speak to how I am feeling.
We live but also learn that life can be swept away in an instant, so painfully. But, life also has healing energies, and we can learn that too, so that we're restored to a new, different place and stage in life, even in the midst of so much heartache and despair..
He was one of the best if not the best performers at Michael Jackson's funeral, he had my grandmother and me crying. Deeply moving experience for the both of us.
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer I thought you would go then come back home I thought the cold would leave by summer But my quiet nights will be spent alone You said there would be warm love in springtime That was when you started to be cold I never dreamed you'd leave in summer But now I find myself all alone You said then you'd be alive in autumn Then you said you'd be the one to see the way No, no no no no I never dreamed you'd leave in summer But now I find my love has gone away Why didn't you stay?
A Man that can see without seeing. He knows how to put what he can not see into lyrics for us to see. Melodies that ache but sound so good. How blessed we are to have Stevie The Wonderful! His music will live many Summers...for eternity. Such a short song, but Powerful. I don’t think we could have made through another verse. Crying 😢 and such. Thank You Stevie💕
No matter the genre of music I can see your favorite artist listening to this song and appreciating the song writing and musicianship. From Elvis to Sinatra. From Cash to Willie Nelson. From Jay Z to Cobain. They all had to love this song.
This is the most touching emotional song I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. It has so many different meanings. Death? Life? Loss of Love? So many scenarios and I love Stevie Wonder! God Bless Him and his genuity for singing and song writing!!
I love this song. So simple and so pure. It makes you think if all the loved ones we lost over the years of our lives. Truly amazing and such heart felt words.
I never dreamed ud leave in summer I thought you would go then come back home I thought the cold would leave by summer But my quiet nights will be spent alone You said there would be warm love in springtime That is when u started to be cold I never dreamed you'd leave in summer But now I find myself all alone You said then youd be the life in autumn Said youd be the one to see the way No I never dreamed you'd leave in summer but now I find my love has gone away Why didn't you stay?
Although its clear the song doesn't have a deeper meaning, my personal interpretation of the song is how difficult it is to see ourselves change from season to season. Fuck it. Life is growth.
I LOVE THIS SONG. My favourite all time singer and my idol. Beautiful song. Brings tears when I hear the words... The lyrics is such an amazing soulful and peaceful song captured to the heart.
I have listened to them all, I agree with steelspurs16. Stevie Wonder is the Maestro and no one comes close to his Talent or Ever will. Thank God for him !!
I remember seeing him performing this song live on the Dock Cavett show,and this was before he had put the song on his "Where I'm Coming From" album. Signed, Sealed ,Delivered, I'm yours was his current single on release at the time,so he had already sbegun writing a huge collection of material to choose whether to record or not! I'd love to hear some of the ones that were left on tape, never to be pressed on wax!
Daria Chefan Unfortunately,I don't! I sure wish I did! I loved that song right from the start! I really loved that he used it for the memorial service for MJ.

My heart sank when I heard the melody begin, very moving and sad. I cried thru most of the ceremony. This was a great honor to the whole Jackson family coming from Stevie Wonder.
he also sang they wont go when i go, perfectly describes mj's life, full of people that stabbed him in the back and turned their back on him when he needed the most. The only ones who were still with him were Stevie Wonder an Elizabeth Taylor
This song touches my soul every time I hear it....the words...the sound..the feelings...so amazing..thank you Mr. Wonder and God bless you always. xoxo K.
My first time hearing this song was in Poetic Justice. Brings me to tears every time 😭... Today is a day for celebration! Happy 70th Birthday Stevie Wonder 🎈
That and Again had me crying in the theater .My mother had passed a year earlier and the memory was so fresh ..
Beautiful performance, we aren't getting another Stevie in any other lifetime, such truth in his voice and a feeling like no other, its true he could see through his music
Still one of the saddest most beautiful songs ever written
Very few singers make me cry with their music, Stevie does, many times... He's just one of the few very very best
Definitely 👍
For sure especially this song
A true musical genius. This song is both timeless and universal. His entire catalog belongs in the Smithsonian if it is not there already.
I love this song. I am stationed in England and my 16 year old brother was taken away in a riptide yesterday. I immediately thought of this song. Such excruciating pain I am in,but I am blessed to have these words to speak to how I am feeling.
your brother didn't make it? :(
im so sorry :( my heart goes out to you....my brother passed also, this song just makes me think of him 😔💙
so sorry for the loss of your beautiful brother xox
We live but also learn that life can be swept away in an instant, so painfully. But, life also has healing energies, and we can learn that too, so that we're restored to a new, different place and stage in life, even in the midst of so much heartache and despair..
Stevie is a legend yo, love this song, i appreciate his music so much.
I agree
That FLUTE is EVERYTHING!!!
Really? I thought it was horrible. Can You explain? To me it sounds like he’s missing every note, but maybe I’m wrong!!
THE GREATEST SINGER, COMPOSER, WRITER EVER!!!! HANDS DOWN!!!
He was one of the best if not the best performers at Michael Jackson's funeral, he had my grandmother and me crying. Deeply moving experience for the both of us.
Stevie Wonder is the closet thing to God . Period . Amen .
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by summer
But my quiet nights will be spent alone
You said there would be warm love in springtime
That was when you started to be cold
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find myself all alone
You said then you'd be alive in autumn
Then you said you'd be the one to see the way
No, no no no no I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find my love has gone away
Why didn't you stay?
Poetic Justice brought me here... Beautiful song

One of the greatest balladeers ever! His voice envelops the heart and takes the mind on a journey one never wants to end.
This is one of his greatest songs. Love it.

Stevie a beast!!!
Hes the greatest Music artist of all time and he writes his own music
Even God Tears At This Song!
One of the BEST songs AND singers EVER!!!
"retrospect for life" ...yeah its got the beat and the chorus. great song
its called feeling the music..and he doesnt exactly know what he looks like..this is one of my favorite songs:)
When Stevie says “ Now I found my lahve has gone away…WHY didn’t you stay?” I can’t help but cry. Hits the same way every time I hear it.
Gorgeous! Man, I can't tell you how much I love Stevie.
Love him and this song is so underrated.
He was only 21 years old here. Amazing talent.
Sweet. That kat on the bari is my current high school teacher. He's a killin musician.
...and he is only 21... Amazing!!!!! ;-)
Wow, I had no idea this song was so old. Way ahead of his time.
I have always loved this song but for a long time I could not find it anywhere. So grateful .....thank you :-)
so appropriate for the event. Who ever thought MJ would leave us in summer. It hurts!!!!
and he was alive in autumn. him singing this song made me cry like a fool at work during the memorial
Although its clear the song doesn't have a deeper meaning, my personal interpretation of the song is how difficult it is to see ourselves change from season to season. Fuck it. Life is growth.
STEVIE , you are the best !!

Yeah.. I remember... made me cry... but I wonder was the original about someone or did he just sing it in general.
he also sang they wont go when i go, perfectly describes mj's life, full of people that stabbed him in the back and turned their back on him when he needed the most. The only ones who were still with him were Stevie Wonder an Elizabeth Taylor
