Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves fall
And are swept out of sight
The words that you said have come true

Autumn leaves fall
And are swept out of sight
So are the memories of love that we knew

The wind of forgetfulness blows them
Into the night of regret
The song you would so often sing
Is echoing, echoing yet

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

Since you went away
The days grow long

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
