The falling leaves
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips,
the summer kisses,
the sunburned hands I used to hold.
Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter 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 song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Wayfaring Stranger lyrics - Eva Cassidy
[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
While journeying through,
This world of woe,
Yeah, and there's no sickness,
toil nor danger,
In that bright land,
To which i go.
[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.
[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds,
Will gather on me,
I know my way,
My way is rough and steep,
Yeah, and beautiful fields,
Lie just before me,
And God's redeemed
Their vigils keep.
[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.
I'm going there to see my Mother,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.
[Verse 3]
I want to wear,
That crown of glory,
When I get home,
To that good land,
Well, I want to shout,
Salvation's story,
In concert with,
All the blood-washed band.
[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Saviour,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home,
Well, I'm only go,
Going over home,
Yeah, only....[repeat till fade]

Songbird lyrics - Eva Cassidy
For you, there'll be no crying
For you, the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
For you, the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before
Time Is A Healer lyrics - Eva Cassidy
I found a picture of your smiling face
Bringing old memories that I had locked away
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again
[Chorus:]
If time is a healer
Then all hearts that break
Are put back together again
‘Cause love heals the wound it makes
I spoke such harsh words before goodbye
Well I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made
You made me cry
All my hopes and dreams, well they started vanishing
Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing
[Chorus:]
All of those years we spent together
Well they're part of my life forever
I hold the joy with the pain
And the truth is I miss you my friend
[Chorus:]
Well time is a healer...
Bringing old memories that I had locked away
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again
[Chorus:]
If time is a healer
Then all hearts that break
Are put back together again
‘Cause love heals the wound it makes
I spoke such harsh words before goodbye
Well I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made
You made me cry
All my hopes and dreams, well they started vanishing
Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing
[Chorus:]
All of those years we spent together
Well they're part of my life forever
I hold the joy with the pain
And the truth is I miss you my friend
[Chorus:]
Well time is a healer...
I Know You By Heart lyrics - Eva Cassidy
Midnights in winter
The glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
Its line is etched in my memory
So I'd know you by heart
Mornings in april
Sharing the secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone
We were like children
Laughing for hours
The joy you gave me
Lives on and on
'Cause I know you by heart
I still hear your voice
On warm summer nights
Whispering like the wind
ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhh
You left in autumn
The leaves were turning
I walked down roads of orange and gold
I saw your sweet smile
I heard your laughter
You're still here beside me
Everyday
'Cause I know you by heart
'Cause I know you by heart

Oh, Had I A Golden Thread lyrics - Eva Cassidy
Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design
In it I would weave the courage
Of women giving birth
And in it I would weave the innocence
Of the children of all the earth
Children of all the earth
I want to show my brothers and sisters
My rainbow design
Cause I would bind up this sorry world
With hand and heart and mind
Oh, hand and heart and mind
Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design
In it I would weave the courage
Of women giving birth
And in it I would weave the innocence
Of the children of all the earth
Children of all the earth
I want to show my brothers and sisters
My rainbow design
Cause I would bind up this sorry world
With hand and heart and mind
Oh, hand and heart and mind
Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design
Over The Rainbow lyrics - Eva Cassidy
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
In the land that I heard of once, once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
[Instrumental]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly across the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?
In the land that I heard of once, once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
[Instrumental]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly across the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

Blues In The Night lyrics - Eva Cassidy
My mama done tol' me,
When I was in knee pants,
My mama done tol' me,
Son! A woman'll sweet talk
And give ya the big eye;
But when the sweet talkin's done,
A woman's a two face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing
The blues in the night
Now the rain's a fallin',
Hear the train a collin'
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
Hear dat lonesome whistle
Blowin' cross the trestle,
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's
A echoin' back th' blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide its light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockin' bird'll
Sing the saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile,
From Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow,
I been in some big towns,
An' heard me some big talk,
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two face,
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night
My mama was right, there's blues in the night
When I was in knee pants,
My mama done tol' me,
Son! A woman'll sweet talk
And give ya the big eye;
But when the sweet talkin's done,
A woman's a two face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing
The blues in the night
Now the rain's a fallin',
Hear the train a collin'
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
Hear dat lonesome whistle
Blowin' cross the trestle,
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's
A echoin' back th' blues in the night
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide its light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word, the mockin' bird'll
Sing the saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong and he's right

But there is one thing I know

Songbird lyrics - Eva Cassidy
For you, there'll be no crying
For you, the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright

To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you

And I love you, I love you, I love you

Need Your Love So Bad lyrics - Eva Cassidy
I need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
And when the night begins and until it ends
Oh baby I need your love so bad
I need someone's lips to feel next to mine
I need someone to stand up and tell me when I'm lying
And when the lights are low and till it's time to go
Mmm I need your love so bad
So go home and give it up baby, bring it on home to me
Write it on a piece of paper so that it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me, stop driving me mad
Oh 'cause I need, I need your love so bad
I need a soft voice to talk to me at night
Don't you worry baby, we won't fuss and fight

Say Goodbye lyrics - Eva Cassidy
It's funny how the distance can make you feel close
And the things you lost are the things you want most
The weather's fine here ' perfect shade of blue
I guess that's why I've been thinking of you
[Chorus]
So I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
Ooh must be the mood I'm in
I'm thinking of you again
I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
I know you're different now and I guess I changed too
And I thought what was once so right was so wrong for you
Yesterday I was talking and I heard your name
The weather's fine here with a slight chance of rain
[Chorus]
Time makes you sorry for the things that you've done
Sometimes you walk away and sometimes you run
And the weather's fine here; I can feel a slight chill
Somethings change babe and some never will
[Chorus]
I call you up just to tell you why
To say I love you and to say goodbye
And the things you lost are the things you want most
The weather's fine here ' perfect shade of blue
I guess that's why I've been thinking of you
[Chorus]
So I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
Ooh must be the mood I'm in
I'm thinking of you again
I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
I know you're different now and I guess I changed too
And I thought what was once so right was so wrong for you
Yesterday I was talking and I heard your name
The weather's fine here with a slight chance of rain
[Chorus]
Time makes you sorry for the things that you've done
Sometimes you walk away and sometimes you run
And the weather's fine here; I can feel a slight chill
Somethings change babe and some never will
[Chorus]
I call you up just to tell you why
To say I love you and to say goodbye
Nightbird lyrics - Eva Cassidy
Some old hotel room in Memphis
I see the city through the rain
I'm just chasing me my time
And remembering some pain
See there once was a boy
And on the street he'd surely die
But the nightbird took him in
And she taught him how to fly
See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone?
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
Now she's gone
Two bit bars and honky tonks
Any pleasure can be found
You can get just what you want
If you lay your money down
And loney sailors do their drinking
My, my, my how the brave men do die
And the nightbird sells her pleasures
Bringing tears to my eyes
See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
Now she's gone
So I guess I'll go out walking
Lord, let the rain keep falling down
I guess I'll go chase some memories
On the dark side of town
See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
Now she's gone
I see the city through the rain
I'm just chasing me my time
And remembering some pain
See there once was a boy
And on the street he'd surely die
But the nightbird took him in
And she taught him how to fly
See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone?
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
Now she's gone
Two bit bars and honky tonks
Any pleasure can be found
You can get just what you want
If you lay your money down
And loney sailors do their drinking
My, my, my how the brave men do die
And the nightbird sells her pleasures
Bringing tears to my eyes
See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
Now she's gone
So I guess I'll go out walking
Lord, let the rain keep falling down
I guess I'll go chase some memories
On the dark side of town
See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
Now she's gone
Waly, Waly lyrics - Eva Cassidy
When cockle shells turn into silvery bells,
then will my love return to me.
When roses grow in the wintery snow,
then will my love return to me.
Oh waly, waly, love be by me
and bright as a jewel when first new...
But love grows old, and waxes cold,
and fades away like morning dew.
There is a ship, it sails the sea,
It's loaded high and (as) deep can be.
But not so deep as my love for you.
I know not if I sink or swim.
Oh waly, waly, love be by me
Bright as a jewel when first new...
But love grows old and waxes cold,
and fades away like morning dew
then will my love return to me.
When roses grow in the wintery snow,
then will my love return to me.
Oh waly, waly, love be by me
and bright as a jewel when first new...
But love grows old, and waxes cold,
and fades away like morning dew.
There is a ship, it sails the sea,
It's loaded high and (as) deep can be.
But not so deep as my love for you.
I know not if I sink or swim.
Oh waly, waly, love be by me
Bright as a jewel when first new...
But love grows old and waxes cold,
and fades away like morning dew
How Can I Keep From Singing? lyrics - Eva Cassidy
Mmm...
My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
Oh though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
Oh though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
How can I keep from singing?
Lord, how can I keep from singing?
Oh, how can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
Oh though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
Oh though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
How can I keep from singing?
Lord, how can I keep from singing?
Oh, how can I keep from singing?
Cheek To Cheek lyrics - Eva Cassidy
Heaven, I'm in heaven
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, heaven, I'm in heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to go out fishing
in an ocean or a creek
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain
and reach the highest peak
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek
Won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Oh, when we're out together
out together
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, heaven, I'm in heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to go out fishing
in an ocean or a creek
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain
and reach the highest peak
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek
Won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Oh, when we're out together
out together
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek
Stormy Monday lyrics - Eva Cassidy
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesdays just as bad
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesdays just as bad
Wednesday is worse and Thursdays also sad
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, hmm,
Thats when I get down on my knees and pray
I said Lord have mercy,
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Don't you know I'm just trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send him on home to me
Oh yeah
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Don't you know I'm just trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send him on home to me
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesdays just as bad
Wednesday is worse and Thursdays also sad
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, hmm,
Thats when I get down on my knees and pray
I said Lord have mercy,
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Don't you know I'm just trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send him on home to me
Oh yeah
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Don't you know I'm just trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send him on home to me
Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics - Eva Cassidy
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silvergirl
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silvergirl
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Fine And Mellow lyrics - Eva Cassidy
My man don't love me
He treats me so mean
My man don't love me
He treats me so mean
Well he's the, lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
Well he wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts to love me
He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you gamble
And stay out all night long
Love will make you gamble
And stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
You always thought was wrong
But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
Said if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
But you're so darned mean
I just know you're gonna drive me away
But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
Said if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
But you're so darned mean
I just know you're gonna drive me away
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It's turned off and gone
People Get Ready lyrics - Eva Cassidy
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved and lost
Now there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who's hard on mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne
Ohh people get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels a-humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm getting ready
I - I'm ready yeah yeah yeah
Oh I'm getting ready oh - oh

All you need is faith
To hear diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved and lost
Now there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who's hard on mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne

Blue Skies lyrics - eva cassidy
Blue skies smiling on me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singing a song
Nothing but blue skies from now on.
I never saw the sun shining so bright
When you're in love everythings right
Watching all the days hurrying by
When you're in love my how they fly
Those blue days all of them gone
And nothing but blue sky from now on
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singing a song
Nothing but blue skies from now on.
I never saw the sun shining so bright
When you're in love everythings right
Watching all the days hurrying by
When you're in love my how they fly
Those blue days all of them gone
And nothing but blue sky from now on
Tall Trees In Georgia lyrics - Eva Cassidy
Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go
The sweetest love I ever had
I left aside
Because I did not want
To be any mans bride
But now I'm older
And married I would be
I found my sweetheart
But he would not marry me
When I was younger
The boys all came around
But now I'm older
And they've all settled down
Control your mind my girl
And give your heart to one
For if you love all men
You'll be surely left with none
Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go
The sweetest love I ever had
I left aside
Because I did not want
To be any mans bride
But now I'm older
And married I would be
I found my sweetheart
But he would not marry me
When I was younger
The boys all came around
But now I'm older
And they've all settled down
Control your mind my girl
And give your heart to one
For if you love all men
You'll be surely left with none
Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go
Fields Of Gold lyrics - Eva Cassidy
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
Autumn Leaves lyrics - Cassidy
The falling leaves
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips,
the summer kisses,
the sunburned hands I used to hold.
Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter 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 song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips,
the summer kisses,
the sunburned hands I used to hold.
Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter 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 song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
