Autumn Cheer

The days are shorter now that Autumn is here
The breezes are cool and the water is cold
Nights are golden, and have a special cheer
The trees all stand firmly, as they are quite old

The breezes are cool and the water is cold
The leaves are all changing, and fall slowly
The trees all stand firmly, as they are quite old
Feelings amassed during this time can be lowly

The leaves are all changing, and fall slowly
Great is the masterpiece, but the nights are long
Feelings amassed during this time can be lowly
Freezing temperatures can bring excitement along

Great is the masterpiece, but the nights are long
The rain simply pitter-patters on the evening strolls
Freezing temperatures can bring excitement along
Turning into snow as winter comes into the knolls

The rain simply pitter-patters on the evening strolls
As Autumn starts to extend its long-handed mist
Turning into snow as winter comes into the knolls
The night brings a life where we want to be kissed

As Autumn starts to extend its long-handed mist
Nights are golden, and have a special cheer
The night brings a life where we want to be kissed
The days are shorter now that Autumn is here
