Autumn Leaves

AUTUMN LEAVES - Written by Carroll Bryant



I travel back in time
To a place of yesterday and there I find
A pretty face where I can still recall her smile
And it warms my heart and soul
 
My spirit was so wild
And in her eyes I knew she saw me as a child
Imagine my surprise the moment she did take my hand
And it touched me deep to know
 
That I finally found someone to share my life
A woman that I knew would be my wife
But I lost it all so tragically late one angry night
And I promised myself to remember
Until the very day I died
 
So in the memory of my unforgotten love
I still vow to thee in the hopes I rise above
In the midnight underneath a lonely moon
This man still grieves
But by the grace of God I still remember
And as always, autumn leaves

I get to here and now
And in my heart I have managed to somehow
Play the part even though I was a fool
To have believed that God’s to blame

The guilt inside of me
Built a wall and so I never could break free
From it all until I fell for someone else
And with it, gone is all my pain

And so I found somebody else to share my life
With a blessing I will make this girl my wife
For it happened in the blink of an eye one grateful night
And I promised myself to remember
Until the very day I died

So in the memory of my unforgotten love
I still vow to thee in the hopes I rise above
In the midnight underneath a lonely moon
This man still grieves
But by the grace of God I still remember
And as always, autumn leaves
 
And so I ride the wind to the temple of the sun
Life begins again, to witness each and everyone
I bow to the king and all the happiness he brings
And to the girl who has invaded my world

My troubled world
 
In the memory of my unforgotten love
I still vow to thee in the hopes I rise above
In the midnight underneath a lonely moon this man still grieves
But by the grace of God I still remember
And as always, autumn leaves
And by the grace of God I still remember
And as always, autumn leaves
