Ballad

Boyz II Men-4 Seasons to Loneliness

Oh yea oh oh oh
I long for the warmth of days gone by when you were mine
But now those days are memories in time
Life's empty without you by my side
My heart belongs to you, no matter what I try

When I get the courage up to love somebody new
It always falls apart 'cause they just can't compare to you
Your love won't release me, I'm bound under ball and chain
Reminiscing our love as I watch 4 seasons change

In comes the winter breeze that chills the air and drifts the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
When springtime makes it's way here
Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume

When summer burns with heat, I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do
When autumn sheds the leaves, the trees are bare
When you're not here, it doesn't feel the same

Remember the nights when we closed our eyes
And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time

Anytime I think about these things I shared with you
I break down and cry 'cause I get so emotional
Until you release me I'm bound under ball and chain
Reminiscing our love as I watch 4 seasons change

In comes the winter breeze that chills the air and drifts the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
When springtime makes it's way here
Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume

When summer burns with heat, I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do
When autumn sheds the leaves, the trees are bare
When you're not here, it doesn't feel the same

This loneliness has crushed my heart
Please let me love again
'Cause I need your love to comfort me and ease my pain
Or 4 seasons will bring the loneliness again

In comes the winter breeze that chills the air and drifts the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
When springtime makes it's way here
Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume

When summer burns with heat, I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do
When autumn sheds the leaves, the trees are bare
When you're not here, it doesn't feel the same
Remember the warmth of days gone by.


This song is a ballad because it it tells of unrequited love.  It says how the singer wants the love of his life back.  He remembers all the times they had together.  He remembers the smell of her perfume.  He loves the girl but he can not have her.  He just wants her in his life.  His love is not returned because the girl does not like him back.  This song is definitely a ballad.

  1. I agree with nick when he said that it is unquited love. It definitally says it with the lines "When summer burns with heat, I always get the hots for you" i mean you just dont has that to someone unless you are in love with then, just like in Barbara Allan, when she says she will die for him. This is a perfect example of a ballad and a good song too.
