The gilded leaves of Autumn sigh- their velvet green has vanished now. They miss sweet Summer's lullaby; warm breeze caressing every bough. Their velvet green has vanished now, replaced by golds and burnished glow. Warm breeze caressing every bough- bring memory from long ago. Replaced by golds and burnished glow, they shake in the cool Autumn breeze. Bring memory from long ago- those balmy nights on moonlit trees. They shake in the cool Autumn breeze- they miss sweet Summer's lullaby, those balmy nights on moonlit trees; the gilded leaves of Autumn sigh.
