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 is the memory of love that we knew

The wind of forgetfulness blows them
Into the night of regret
The song we so often did 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 cold winter song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
When autumn leaves start to fall

Autumn leaves
Autumn leaves start to fall
Start to fall
