Autumn Leaves – Nat King Cole Lyrics
The falling leaves drift by the windowThe autumn leaves of red and goldI see your lips, the summer kissesThe sun-burned hands I used to holdSince you went away the days grow longAnd soon I’ll hear old winter’s songBut I miss you most of all my darlingWhen autumn leaves start to fallSince you went away the days grow longAnd soon I’ll hear old winter’s songBut I miss you most of all my darlingWhen autumn leaves start to fall
