The Autumn Leaves Have Fallen
All the trees are barren now
Leaves fallen to the ground
Rustling of my footsteps
Is the only sound around
Looking at the trees in winter
Many memories it does bring
As they wait in winters nakedness
Till they dress again for spring
Remember when the branches
Gave birth to leaves of green
How we shared a loving kiss
As we talked about our dream
The walk we took in autumn
As the colors burst above
Heart carved in a maples bark
Professing everlasting love
The virginity we both lost
Underneath that tree of dreams
Doesn't seem that long ago
Guess it's longer than it seems
Maples old and twisted now
Bark turned a weathered grey
Heart once I carved with love
It too starts to fade away
Though the Lord has taken you
They say to a better place
Can't help my tears that fall
As this faded heart I trace
