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.
