[00:09.78]I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song.
[00:16.48]Im twenty-two now but I wont be for long
[00:21.73]Time hurries on.
[00:25.11]And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
[00:33.97]And they wither with the wind,
[00:38.99]And they crumble in your hand.
[00:44.16]Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl.
[00:51.05]I held her close, but she faded in the night
[00:56.27]Like a poem I meant to write.
[01:01.08]And the leaves that are green turn to brown,
[01:10.02]And they wither with the wind,
[01:15.10]And they crumble in your hand.
[01:20.66]I threw a pebble in a brook
[01:24.41]And watched the ripples run away
[01:30.09]And they never made a sound.
[01:33.43]And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
[01:42.42]And they wither with the wind,
[01:46.64]And they crumble in your hand.
[01:53.12]Hello, hello, hello, good-bye,
[01:57.99]Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye,
[02:04.78]Thats all there is.
[02:07.69]And the leaves that are green turned to brown,
