Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here
[Verse 2]
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one, they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here
[Chorus]
Like the sun through the trees, you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze, you blew away
[Verse 3]
Through autumn's golden gown, we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
[Bridge]
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
[Chorus]
Like the sun through the trees, you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze, you blew away
[Verse 4]
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
[Outro]
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here...
