Please don't leave me in winter The trees are bare and the sky is cold You can leave me in summer When the sun is gold Please don't leave me in springtime When the rain falls without end You can wait for the flowers to bloom You can leave me then Don't leave me in summer Cause it's too hot to cry And the bees are lovely When that grass, when that grass is high If you go in autumn as the days fall short The nights loom long When the first frosting's the ground Like a leaf I will be gone
