[Adapted from "Les feuilles mortes", a French poem by Jacques Prévert which was set to music by Joseph Kosma; Johnny Mercer, and additionally Geoffrey Parsons, adapted it to English]
The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
