Eva Cassidy Lyrics And Tabs - Songbird - Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves

(Jacques Prévert/Johnny Mercer/Joseph Kosma)

10

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned 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

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

I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
