Tony Bennett — Autumn Leaves / Indian Summer lyrics

Lyrics

The autumn leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn 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’s song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
Summer, you old Indian Summer
You’re the tear that comes after June-time's laughter
You see so many dreams that don’t come true
Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new
You are here to watch over
Some heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken
You’re the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that’s why I say
«Farewell to you, Indian Summer»
You are here to watch over
A heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken
You’re the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that’s why I say
«Farewell to you, Indian Summer»
The days grow long
And soon I’ll hear
Old winter’s song
But I’ll miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
