The summer sun is fading as the year grows old

And darker days are drawing near

The winter winds will be much colder

Now you're not here



I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky

And one by one they disappear

I wish that I was flying with them

Now you're not here



Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away



Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way

You always loved this time of year

Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here



Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away



A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes

As if to hide a lonely tear

My life will be forever autumn

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here

'Cause you're not here
