When the leaves began to fall I heard Nature's lonesome cry of wisdom
All the birds had flown away While I stayed And watched alone the sky turn gray
But then winter came on a cloudy night With the saddest smile in a bag of ice Told me: Don't be afraid of the lonely times
Then winter came on a cloudy night In a moonlight dance with a starless sky Told me: Come dance with me You'll keep warm and wise
And then, on a sunny April day Spring came by With sparkling trees and green leaves And all the birds came back to sing The sweetest melodies, delivered by the breeze To my ears
