SEPTEMBER LEAVES ~ AND FALL FOLLOWS

“EVERY LEAF SPEAKS BLISS TO ME, FLUTTERING FROM THE AUTUMN TREE.”

AUTUMN LEAVES
LYRICS BY JOHNNY MERCER

“Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight. 
The words that you said have gone too.
 
So are the memories of love that we knew.
The wind of forgetfulness blow them into the night of regret.
 
The song that you so often sang 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.”
~  Johnny Mercer
