Leaves slow falling on the pond And small rings the ripples form It is true the colours fade And the summer's gone All the birds left in the night Warmer winds elsewhere they find It is true their feathers fall And the summer's gone And the summer's gone And the summer's gone Life goes on Far beyond our eyes Pages turned by patient hands Days go by as peaks turn white It is true the winter chill Leaves a heavy heart Birds fly back from distant land Days go by as trees grow high (Days go by as trees grow high) It is true the bees will hum When the spring is near When the spring is near And the summer's here Life goes on Carry on Far beyond our eyes Don't let the winter winds wither your heart Don't let the winter winds wither your heart Don't let the winter winds wither your heart Don't let the winter winds wither your heart Life goes on Carry on Life goes on Far beyond your eyes
