Am                        G
The summer sun is fading as the year grows cold
F   Em      F               G
And darker days are drawing near
Em         F                  G            G
The winter winds will be much colder
               Am
Now you're not here.   (repeat intro)

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear.
I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here.

F      C            Bb              Am
Like a song through the trees you came to love me
F      C         Bb                Am    F7
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...       (repeat intro)

Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year.
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
              Am                      G
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
              Am
'Cause you're not here.

Like a song through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away...

A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn...

              Am                       G
'Cause you're not here. 'Cause you're not here.
              Am
'Cause you're not here.  (repeat and fade)
