Lyrics:

Where I was born time was told, 
Not by the clock nor the calendar, 
But by the seasons.  

Summer was carefree contentment,
Autumn was that bittersweet time of regret, 
And then Winter fell with a cold mantle of caution and chill.  

Spring was promise, 
But there was a fifth season, 
Of love, and only the wise knew where to find it!

They say that the seasons are four,
They come and they go by my door;
From April's first rose
To the day that it snows,
Same moon is smiling above.

They say that the seasons are four,
But you and I know there are more!
And best of them all
Is the one that we call
The wonderful season of love!

They say that the seasons are four,
But you and I know there are more!
And best of them all
Is the one that we call
The wonderful season of love!

[FANNY]
Oh, my man, I love him so

[FANNY, spoken]
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knees someday
For whatever my man is, I am his

[FANNY]
Forever more
It cost me a lot but that's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet tired you bet
But all that I soon forget, with my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books, he's my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me but I love him
Oh my man I love him so, he'll never know
All my life is just despair but I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright
What's the difference if I say I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knees someday
For whatever my man is, I am his
Forever more.
