Autumn Leaves

Richard 'Groove' Holmes · Other Songs - Richard 'Groove' Holmes

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



C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble

Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais

Nous vivions tous deux ensemble

Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais

Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment

Tout doucement sans faire de bruit

Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis
