Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When an early autumn walks the land
And chills the breeze
And touches with her hand
The summer trees
Perhaps you'll understand
What memories I own
[Verse 2]
There's a dance pavilion in the rain
All shuttered down
A winding country lane
All russet brown
A frosty window pane
Shows me a town grown lonely
[Verse 3]
That spring of ours that started
So April-hearted
Seemed made for just a boy and girl
I never dreamed, did you?
Any fall could come in view
So early, early
[Verse 4]
May I ask you, darling, if you care?
Please, let me know
I'll meet you anywhere
I miss you so
Let's never have to share
Another early autumn
