the autumn leaves will all be falling soon

The beautiful flowers
Will all fade away
The streams will all freeze and
The fields turn to gray

The frogs all will slumber
The birds will take flight
And winter's cold wonder
Will bid us goodnight

As the sun starts to set and
The leaves start to change


The autumn leaves will all be falling soon
And then winter will come in for the kill


For tonight is the last night of summer
My love
Of the summer
Of love

See how adorable?
