The falling leaves

Drift by my window.

The falling 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 song

But i miss you most of all my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away

the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter song

But i miss you most of all my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall
