Last Leaf

I'm the last leaf on the tree

The autumn took the rest

But it won't take me

I'm the last leaf on the tree

When the autumn wind blows

They're already gone

They flutter to the ground

They just can't hang on

When there's nothing in the world

That I ain't seen

I greet all the new ones

That are coming in green

I'm the last leaf on the tree

The autumn took the rest

But they won't take me

'Cause I'm the last leaf on the tree

They say I got staying power

Here on the tree

But I've been here since Eisenhower

And I've outlived even he

I'm the last leaf on the tree

The autumn took the rest

But they won't take me

I'm the last leaf on the tree

I fight off the snow

I fight off the hail

Nothing makes me go

I'm like some vestigial tail

I'll be here through eternity

If you wanna know how long

If they cut down this tree

I'll show up in a song

I'm the last leaf on the tree

The autumn took the rest

But they won't take me

I'm the last leaf on the tree

I'm the last leaf on the tree

I'm the last leaf on the tree
