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. |

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] |

| [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, |
