Autumn Of My Life Lyrics

In the spring of my life she came to me She brought sunshine where winter winds had blown Then I took her for my wife in the spring of my life And she brought me a joy I never known And the years they went by in the spring of my life And in summer she blessed me with a child Love continued to grow in the summer of my life And in every morning sun I saw her smile In the autumn of my years I noticed the tears And I knew that our lives was in the past Though I've tried to pretend I knew it was the end For the autumn of my life had come at last Now just what do you say to a child only ten How do you tell him that his daddy's goin' away I wonder do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life And that perhaps he'll understand some cold winter's day Now the rose can't be found on the snow covered ground And the sun cannot shine through cloudy skies But I'm richer you see for the years she gave to me And I am content in the autumn of my life
