Years go by in eager haste Gotta take the world in a sweet embrace I'm certain now that paradise Shines crystal clear in the autumn skies So take my hand and don't let go 'Cause after rain comes winter snow When days grow dark and bittersweet I'll watch the sky and dream of autumn leaves ♪ When days grow dark and bittersweet I'll watch the sky and dream of autumn leaves Wondrous dreams of autumn leaves Wondrous dreams of autumn leaves Watch out below A maple leaf grew tired of its home Sailing in the afterglow I feel alive midst amber trees with enigmatic eyes Under brilliant coral skies I chase the world outside 'til the eventide 'Cause heaven knows when it's gone and dreams subside But I'd hate to say goodbye I'll spend the afternoon in my wool cocoon When I get tired of life in saddened blue So autumn dreams may start anew ♪ When days grow dark and bittersweet I'll watch the sky and dream of autumn leaves Wondrous dreams of autumn leaves Wondrous dreams of autumn leaves Years go by in eager haste Gotta take the world in a sweet embrace I'm certain now that paradise Shines crystal clear in the autumn skies So take my hand and don't let go 'Cause after rain comes winter snow When days grow dark and bittersweet I'll watch the sky and dream of autumn leaves
