Seasons of My Heart

"Seasons of My Heart" is a song written by George Jones and Darrell Edwards.

[2] "Seasons of My Heart" originally appeared as the B-side to George Jones' first chart hit "Why Baby Why" in 1955.

The imagery-laden song was an early showcase of Jones' abilities as a balladeer, although he sang in much higher during this period than he would later in his career.

Former Starday Records president Don Pierce later explained to Jones biographer Bob Allen, "Pappy realized George's strength as a balladeer long before I did.

I knew that, in those days, it took much longer to sell a ballad, because it had to make it on the radio first...I also knew that an upbeat song like 'Why, Baby Why' would be easier to sell directly to the jukebox distributors for the beer-drinkin' trade.
