[Verse 1]
I've been cryin' all the winter
I've been waiting for some good to come my way
But I'll wait 'til the summer comes along
Dear Lord, have I done so much wrong?

[Chorus]
How can I go on
Wondering what I did wrong?
Can it be too much to ask?
Please, oh, please, let it be

[Verse 2]
If the summer'll come my way
Will I find someone to take the place of grief?
But I'll wait 'til the summer comes along
Dear Lord, tell me what could I've done wrong

[Chorus]
Can it be that you
Never wanted to
Break some poor mother's heart?
Please, oh, please, let it be

[Verse 3]
I know my summer'll never come
I know I'll cry until my dying day has come
Let the winter roll along
I've got nothing left but song
[Outro]
Oh, oh, what's happened?
Oh, oh, what's happened?
