A bit more work maybe Brian. Many lines refer to the same thing. The flow from one verse to another could use work. I'd lose the 1V altogether.
The transitions could flow better, I wouldn't go from happiness to sadness:

You can search your heart over
To find all the reasons
But so often it dies out
With the change of the seasons
While the ones who are lucky
Have happiness many long years

Many times a strong feeling
Runs deeper and deeper
And it seems so to spread
Like a contagious fever
Only one day to wrap people up
In a ribbon of tears

A suggestion:

The passion the feeling
Digs deeper and deeper
As it escalates
Like an infectious fever
Till one day you're restrained
In a ribbon of tears

Good luck with this!
