Autumn Leaves

Thank You, Lord

Some write the songs that make the world cry

The same songs that used to bring them joy

How is it that we love the melody

Yet we don't see the cunning ploy?

Now, I've often wondered when I look at you

Why do you sing the songs you sing

And I've recommended better lullabies

Hoping to give you better dreams

Seems you prefer a long spring

You only want the summer's gold

First, we have to rake those autumn leaves

And still have to face the winter's cold

I miss you most

Oh, my darling

When autumn leaves

Start to fall

But I'm here to tell you

That if you want real joy

These autumn leaves

Just let them fall

Now, I know a girl who watched her mother die

Her father was quite the rolling stone

Chaos is made of such ingredients

And she'll never make it on her own

See, her life was written by the Holy Ghost

These were His words, and I quote

You pick your poison, if that's what you choose

Or you can have the antidote

Now, so many stories like my dear Christine's

She chose to let her heart be healed

This loving Jesus that I sing about

He still sings a song that brings me chills

Since you went away

Though the days grow longer and longer

And I'll soon hear

Long winter's song

The falling leaves

They drift by my window

The falling leaves

Of red and gold

Oh I feel your pain

Said I feel your pain

I promise I can fix it

I promise I can fix it

Daughter and son

I used to hold
