Wonder, Stevie - I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer Lyrics






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 the life in autumn
Said you'd be the one to see the way
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find my love has gone away

Why didn't you stay?

    D.... C....

    Dennis Carrington

    Dennis,

    I don't feel that saying sorry is enough to ease your pain because it's won't . But I sincerely don't know what else to say. Mental health dysfunction or dis-ease can be absolutely crushing to the soul as we are all delicate creatures existing behind facades. When the facade starts to crack, hopefully there is help easing the hopeless to restoring hope.

    Damn.

    Luv and light to you.

    D.... C....

    @Michael Bentt Thank you so much. This is my husband's account, but I don't have any other way to express myself. I truly believe that the reason mental health isn't discussed the way it should is people's ignorance. We have so much trama in my family, but no one wants to acknowledge this. I mean it's so much deeper than I can express here. This goes back generations and I'm trying to stop it from taking any more of my family. At any rate, thank you for listening. SKC
