lyrics

He trails the most beautiful leaves on her way home
Orange, yellow, and red
Silver, copper, gold
And she wonders why Fall's the most beautiful season
For the earth is as bright as the sun

He paves every street with snow wherever she goes
And sculpts every icicle that hangs
Into a rose
And she wonders why Winter's the most beautiful season
For she never feels the cold

Aah, each year she waits for him
But he's waiting inside her
Where she never comes in
So she writes him a poem
And sings him this song
Where have you gone?

He sprinkles petals from the sky
Instead of the rain he knows
Would make her cry
And she wonders why
Spring’s the most beautiful season
For she is always dry

He shepherds the wind to blow
In her direction
Then carves a sea for her
Inside her garden

And she wonders why
Summer’s the most beautiful season
Then looks at her hands
And realizes
She’s the reason

Aah, each year
He’ll come again
For he lives deep inside her
She never knew then
So she writes him a poem
And sings him this song
I am the one
I am the one
I am the one
