When all the leaves are brown and fallen to the floor Been whipped up by the wind and blown around your door Then I'll come down from here. Whisper gently dear Didn't we say it would stay green this year. When we were just beginning here. A frost the gently thaws and crumbles underfoot A sheer of misty glass that melts around your shoes A shaft of burning light that melts the coldest mood Til I come back to you. Whisper gently dear Didn't we say it would stay green this year. When we were just beginning here Remember how we swept lost leaves from around those trees Only fools think love is evergreen
