Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  summer sun is fading as the year  grows old,
and  darker days  are drawing near
The  winter winds  will be much colder,
 now you're not here
I  watch the birds fly south across the autumn  sky,
And  one by one  they disappear.
I  wish that I  was flying with  them,
 Now you're not here.
Like  a song  through the trees  you came to love  me;
Like  a leaf  on a breeze  you blew away
Through  autumn's golden gown we used to kick  our way,
you  always loved  this time of year.
Those  fallen leaves  lie undisturbed  now,
 'Cause you're not here.  'Cause you're not here.
 'Cause you're not here.
Like  a song  through the trees  you came to love  me;
Like  a leaf  on a breeze  you blew away
A  gentle rain falls softly on my weary  eyes,
as  if to hide  a lonely tear
My  life will be  forever autumn,
 'Cause you're not here.  'Cause you're not here.
 'Cause you're not here.  2x
