Autumn has come to play, what a day The sycamore trees are shakin' off their leaves Witness this inevitable attraction, in action As the ground is covered with love from above I could stand out here for hours Being christened by the showers But the day is slippin' away And I ain't even begun to play So I stroll to the square To join the pack kickin' the sack The sky is three different shades of gray And I don't mind to say It's my favorite kind of day I don't know what's come over me But suddenly all I can see Is the beauty that surrounds me That surrounds me yeah The beauty that surrounds me yeah ooh The sun arrives late on the scene Peering between the evergreens And all along the branches The elegant light silently dances The wind whispered in my ear And quick as it came it disappeared But I heard it loud and clear So many people are unaware Of what it is they have to share And the value therein Is not a thing to be measured by men I don't know what's goin' on with me But suddenly all I can see Is the beauty that surrounds me That surrounds me yeah The beauty that surrounds me yeah The beauty that surrounds That surrounds me
