Seasons

When the winter comes, the sun is low upon the fields The sky is cold, and it throws down icy snow The lakes are glass, the river's all a frozen mass The trees are bare, and the North Wind blows the air But the children dance and sing As if the time were spring When the seasons change everything They find a joy in what it brings Then the sun comes high, and the spring rains come and go The summer air is so hot, it melts the Russian snow The fields are brown, and there's no rain to make them grow And the old ones sigh, the heat has made them tired and slow But the children dance and sing As if the time were spring When the seasons change everything They find a joy it what it brings And the children dance and sing As if the time were spring When the seasons change everything They find a joy it what it brings September leaves are falling through the autumn haze And the school bells tell everyone there'll be no more summer days Warm nights are gone, and all the leaves are turning brown And the windows close again, when the winter comes around But the children dance and sing As if the time were spring When the seasons change everything They find a joy in what it brings So I will laugh and dance And watch the children sing And I will have a chance Of finding joy in everything
