The leaves are falling, once again
As they always seem to do at this time of year
And the chill in the air sweeps through
Bringing thoughts of home and memories ever near
The leaves are falling, once again
How their colors seem so rustic and yet so bright
Childhood memories flood back
Times when it was fun to roast marshmallows at night
The leaves are falling, once again
And hopes of years gone by weigh heavy on the heart
Friends, loved ones and hopeful lovers
Speak in sepia dreams; but now, in life depart
The leaves are falling, once again
How the invigorating, life-giving breeze blows
How it blows life into these lungs
Giving hints of promises that only He knows
The leaves are falling, once again
Once again, they fall on the ground, like years before
Once again His promise is true
Promise to prosper, not harm; peace and love in store
