lyrics

Leaves
When I was a child
I watched the leaves in autumn
And saved them when I caught them
In a book so old and grey
Each leaf was a smile
A secret, sacred treasure
A reminder of the pleasure
Of a simple carefree day

New days soon come by
That bring with them new distractions
Persuasive attractions
Seem to beckon from the shelves
We all now know
All that glitters is not gold
But we're too clever to be told
And have to find out for ourselves

And the years flew by
And the years flew by
And the years flew by
Until today.

When out walking in the wind
A leaf blew over my head
A little voice inside me said
It must be caught before it lands
I jumped for it glee
And to my great surprise
I rediscovered things so wise
Only a child would understand
