Autumn Leaves -(c) 2002

V1

As we walk down the snowy trail
We hold our heads up high.
Autumn leaves will be falling soon
The clouds slowly passing by
Soon the winds will begin to change.
The days will grow longer with snow and rain.
The ice the fog, the sun grows dim
Like a melting candle flame.

No matter how
fierce the storm
I know that our love will shine through
I will survive the dark-est days
as long as I have you.
Like flowers blossoming in the spring
The same thing is happening to you and me.
As long as I have you there
will be no other
I keep thinking about you all through that short
summer.

CHORUS:

As I walk along this path of life
I think of times of love and strife
and wonder if it all went wrong
where did I trip, where did we fall?
Oh -
Autumn leaves
Fall to the ground
You never look back once or turn around
You move ahead never cross my line
because we can never turn back time.

V2

As Long as I have you my family
There will be no other
This pack is my history
but sometimes power can
control the mind and take
hold of the heart.
And once darkness grabs hold I'll
lose the flame I had inside.
Oh now I must work to save my honor
there isn't much more time.
Oh now I must walk that line.

Chorus:

As I walk along the path of life
I think of the times of love and strife
And wonder where it all went wrong
Where did I trip
Where did we fall?
Oh Autumn Leaves
falling to the ground
you never look back once or turn around
You move ahead never cross the line
because we can never turn back time.

V3

Like Autumn Leaves
we fell so fast
why could we not make this love here
last?
The pain so deep
mountain so steep
Oh time went by so very fast.
Its over now its in the past.
Sometimes we slip and fall
we lose it all
we break and mend
and move on again
our spirits move with the breeze
just slow and steep
through the trees.
Just like in my dreams
my future slowly falls
Like Autumn leaves.

Chorus:

(REPEAT)

V4

Oh Someday soon
I'll remember you
A family that I once loved
A family that once loved me.
Now its time to take this
journey
its time to cross this broad
cold stream
I made mistakes
realized a bit too late
that what I did would quickly
seal my fate.
I lost my honor, my dreams, all hope.
Now all I have is fear
How did I know the end was upon me how
did I know it was so near?
Now I must chase that star
and wonder where you are.
Lord are you watching over me?
My spirit is all I have left
to guide me down the path
this great journey.
The sky is clouded over void
of starlight
as the summer sun beats down on me.
I look up to the sky and search for shooting stars
and falling autumn leaves.

*END*
