Lyrics

Autumn leaves are fallin', a cold chill bites the air
All the signs are plain to see of winter everywhere
Reminds me of the things you said with love in your eyes
Like the promises of early spring, your words all turned to lies
Here I sit a-thinkin', a-wonderin' what to do
The cold night hours are draggin' by, it's twenty after two
The words we spoke a while ago hang heavy in the air
Now old promises, like autumn leaves, lay scattered everywhere
'Cause if all the broken promises were strung out in the wind
They'd wind the chain of sorrow 'round the world and back again
The memory of the good things help me hang on through the years
But after a while the good things just can't outweigh the tears
All the times you promised me you'd never lie again
Well we both know how the story goes and how this song will end
Soon the night will roll back, bringing on another day
We're left to face each other with nothing else to say
The promises of long ago are all we have to share
Old promises, like autumn leaves, lay scattered everywhere
'Cause if all the broken promises were strung out in the wind
They'd wind the chain of sorrow 'round the world and back again
Yes, if all the broken promises were strung out in the wind
They'd wind the chain of sorrow 'round the world and back again
