"The falling leaves

drift by the window,

The autumn leaves

of red and gold

I see your lips,

the summer kisses,

The sun-burned 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"
