[Verse 1]
Summer Soft
Wakes you up with a kiss to start the morning off
In the midst of herself playing Santa Claus
She brings gifts through her breeze
Morning Rain
Gently plays her rythms on your window pane
Giving you no clue of when she plans to change
To bring rain or sunshine

[Pre-Chorus]
And so you wait to see what she'll do
Is it sun or rain for you
But it breaks your heart in two
When you find it's October

[Chorus]
And she's gone
And she's gone
Summer's gone
Taking with her summer's play

[Verse 2]
Winter Wind
Whispers to you that he wants to be your friend
But not waiting for your answer he begins
Forcing dangers 'way with his breeze
Morning snow
Plans to have a winter ball for you to throw
But just where or when he never lets you know
If it's snow or clear days you'll find

[Pre-Chorus]
And so you wait to see what he'll do
Is it sun or snow for you
But it breaks your heart in two
Cause you've been fooled by April

[Chorus]
And he's gone
And he's gone
Winter's gone

[Outro]
You find it's October
And she's gone
And she's gone
Summer's gone

You've been fooled by April
And he's gone
And he's gone
Winter's gone

You find it's October
And she's gone
And she's gone
Summer's gone

You've been fooled by April
And he's gone
And he's gone
Winter's gone

Nam-bam-bam-bam-bam wooh

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
