  • Lyrics:
     
    I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song.
  • I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long.
    Time hurries on,
    And the leaves that are green, turn to brown.
  • And they wither with the wind,
    And they crumble in your hand.
     
  • Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl.
    I held her close but she faded in the night.
    Like a poem I meant to write.
  • And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
    And they wither with the wind,
    And they crumble in your hand.
  •  
    I threw a pebble in a brook,
    And watched the ripples run away.
  • And they never made a sound.
    And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
    And they wither with the wind,
  • And they crumble in your hand.
     
    Hello, hello, hello, hello.
  • Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
    That's all there is.
    And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
  • PLAY TOO ..
