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
