A Leaf That Clings To the Vine

She walks with grace and beauty, This woman I love so. She owns my heart and I'll never part With the kind of love we know. Our love is like a springtime leaf The everlasting kind And neither summer suns nor winter chills Can kill the leaf that clings to the vine. The leaf that clings to the vine Sweetens tomorrow's wine. So, while other leaves may wither and fall And leave little or nothing behind Our leaf of love will always be Enduring, lasting, and kind. Our love is like a springtime leaf A leaf that clings to the vine.
