A Faded Summer Love

Leaves come tumbling down 'round my head

Some of them are brown, some are red

Beautiful to see, but reminding me

Of a faded, summer love

Swaying high above in the trees

They were so in love with the breeze

Now the autumn wind brings to them the end

Of a faded, summer love

I'm like the poor leaves that swayed with the breeze

I thought that life was sweet

You are the sweet breeze that tried hard to please

Then swept me off my feet

Summer morning dew turns to frost

Leaves that once were new pay the cost

Beautiful to see, but reminding me

Of a faded, summer love

You left today, but you didn't say goodbye

I wonder why

I'm standing now where you made your vow

So blue for you, I could cry

Leaves come tumbling down 'round my head

Some of them are brown, some are red

Beautiful to see, but reminding me

Of a faded, summer love

Swaying high above in the trees

They were so in love with the breeze

Now the autumn wind brings to them the end

Of a faded, summer love

I'm like the poor leaves that swayed with the breeze

I thought that life was sweet

You are the sweet breeze that tried hard to please

Then swept me off my feet

Summer morning dew turns to frost

Leaves that once were new pay the cost

Beautiful to see, but reminding me

Of a faded, summer love
