I think you have to reach a certain age before the lyrics of this song really sink in. An age where you can see the winter of life closing in.
AUTUMN LEAVES
English Lyrics by Johnny Mercer and Music by Joseph Kosma
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
(Instrumental for 1 minute)
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

At what age do you start to see the winter of life coming toward you?
Everytime I hear that song (it is a favorite) I have to think about my husband who passed away the Saturday after Thanksgiving '92. Not sad thoughts, but loving ones. 'On Ya' - ma
I can hear Nat King Cole singing this. Anne
Very nice song. Exactly how I felt in Kentucky and driving through Tennessee. Hugs,
Lisa
