1) It is the springtime of my loving, The second season I am to know...
2) Slight variation with mellotron see below
3)It is the summer of my smiles Flee from me keepers of the gloom
4) These are the seasons of emotion And like the winds they rise and
fall

You are the sunlight in my growing, So little warmth I've felt before
Mellotron solo
Speak to me only with your eyes ohhhh It is to you I give this tune
This is the wonder of devotion I see the torch we all must hold
