when autumn sings - abbey lincoln

i hear the call of fall in the meadows

i hear the sounds of love through the willows

give me your hand and we'll dance a waltz

in red brown and yellow all of autumn's colors

i feel the breeze of change in my spirit

i feel a sigh of dreams to consider

time to look back and count all we have

in those who embrace us

friendy family lovers

i felt alone and lost and forgotten

you came my way to show me love's flame

dreams may grace others

in winter spring or summer

but i like fall best of all

i felt alone and lost and forgotten

you came my way to show me love's flame

dreams may grace others

in winter spring or summer

but i like fall best of all
