I watch leaves br Falling to ground, different colors br Rainbow on ground, br br I watch leaves falling br To ground, birds stop singing, only br Pattering music of leaves, br br I watch purple leaves br Falling and turning silvery br In moonlight, br br I watch leaves falling, like br Life’s fading leaves, my youth blown away br With autumn breath, br br I watch leaves falling, summer br Green changing to autumn’s golden sheen br Hastening decay in nature’s beauty, br br I watch leaves falling, a leafless br Tree reminding life’s gloomy days, friendless, br Cheerless and dim old age, br br I watch leaves falling br To ground, turning my heart of love br Lonely and green leaves browned, br br I watch leaves falling, baring br My heart cold and dry, till spring winds sigh br As young hopes live and old die, br br I watch leaves falling, with br Drooping flowers racing toward stream, perhaps br To a downy nest for ultimate rest, br br Oh leaves, stop falling day and night br Hoping next day dawn serenely bright, usher in br A glorious day that will carry gloom away.......
