Lyrics:

(french lyrics by jacques prvert, English lyrics by johnny mercer, Music by joseph kosma) The falling leaves drift by the window The autumn leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sun-burned 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 C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble Toi que m'aimais moi qui t'aimais Mais la vie spare ceux qui s'aiment Tout doucement sans faire de bruit Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants dsunis
