Leaving
These leaves are falling
all around my little ears
they comfort and hold me
They take me from my fears
They are all different
Some remind me of the moon
Each one sings to me
the most beautiful of tunes
this day is new
this day is bright
come with me you leaves
into the darkest of nights
We'll stick together
through the thick and the thin
please hold my hand
I'll hold your stem
You're there for me
When I am deeply in need
you know me best
you have made me free
Let's run and jump
I'll catch you when you fall
I'm falling too
I need you now most of all
You know just what to say
I find you very smart
For someone who's quite shut off
You know how to touch my heart
So thank you leaves
who save me and make me not afraid
thank you little leaf
for taking me away.
I hope you know
How much you mean to me
You brighten the darkest of days
You little leaf, swinging on that tree.
I'll see you soon
We'll play again someday
Just keep being who you are to me
One day I'll take you away.
