  • @bianca1774, Sometimes I wonder where and how Stevie Wonder can be so prolific in writting

    his lyrics. The phasing with the melodies, make it touch our souls. Its as if he knew me and was

    singing about my life. Guess I'll have to roll with this emotional tide because, all is fair.

  • As a child I was tortured by this song my dad was a BIG Stevie fan!! However it holds such a significance to me in my life right now as an adult, after living & going through some things I truly understand what it means. When my dad passed away last year in June, I was devastated. This songs connects me so closely to him, and the lyrics convey my sadness "I'd never dreamed you'd leave in summer.......why did'nt you stay??" powerful Stevie is the best at tuggin on ur heart strings RIP Dad

  • i cried like a baby in my tenth grade year of high school. I went to see this with my then girlfriend and cried because I had to let her go. no homo. shit had me twisted and now i listen to it thinkin that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. My mom and girlfriend was on the phone with me and I was really twisted. I wish I would have lisened to my intuition because she wind up being no good for me after all. Another story but it is a classic song.

  • This song was playing when I moved when I was younger...even though I was the one moving I just think its ironic how emotional people was when I left...

  • i remember when he sang this song at michael jackson's memorial, right when he started singing i was in tears! the song is so beautiful and sad at the same time! i love stevie wonder! and i love you michael jackson, rip<3 i never dreamed you'd leave in summer :'(
