Lyrics
A Man for All Seasons
It's leaking from my ceiling
and I'm feeling kinda cold
Reaching for a blanket
'cause there's no one here to hold
Knowing that the clouds will part
and the sun will shine through
I curl up and watch the shadows
I see seven shades of blue
I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
Biding my time
Where's a partner who can stick around
past the wine and dine
When life looks up, the players walk in
They don't need too many reasons
But I look past fair-weather guys
I want a man for all seasons ... for all seasons
Got an album with old photographs
of Cupids that have flown
Valentines gone forever
Fleeting like cologne
Some guys don't want to work too hard
They just want to mess around
Once you're sick on your couch with fever
They're nowhere to be found
I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
Biding my time
Where's a partner I can lean on
Who will be there, rain or shine
When life looks up, the players walk in
They don't need too many reasons
But I look past fair-weather guys
I want a man for all seasons
With me, in sickness and in health,
for better or for worse
To me, that's the finest kind of wealth
in this vast universe
When life looks up, the players walk in
They don't need too many reasons
But I look past fair-weather guys
I want a man, I want a man
When life looks up, the players walk in
They don't need too many reasons
But I look past fair-weather guys
I want a man for all seasons ... for all seasons ... for all seasons
