A Pretty Cover Song For The Fall... Written in 1945 in Paris by Joseph Kosma with English Lyrics to follow two years later by Johnny Mercer. - It took me two years to learn this baby on guitar. I played all instruments and sang all parts. I hope you enjoy this at least half as much as it was hard to learn. - Autumn Leaves - The falling leaves drift by my window The autumn leaves of red and gold - I see your lips, the summer kisses The sun-burned hands I used to hold - Since you went away, the days grow long And soon, I'll hear old winter's song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall - Since you went away, the days grow long And soon, I'll hear old winter's song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall - But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall - (c) 1945 Joseph Kosma English Lyrics by Johnny Mercer more
