The Autumn Leaves
Every heartbeat bending to your will
The way you smiled, the way you stayed
I knew my heart had found its place
But love, oh love, it's a fragile thing

by morning's light.

you'll always be my wild heart. Yes, you'll always be my wild heart. A song that lingers
when the music parts. And though the leaves may fall again, I'll hear your whispers in
the wind.
I wonder if you feel it too, the ghost of what we used to do. I drive past that old
