As the daylight turns to starlight
and the season turns to change,
I get the same ould answers
but the question still remains.
We shared a brief but magic song,
By the first leaves of autumn,
you were gone,
Chorus
Not until the rain has touched my face,
Not until the first leaves fell from space,
Not until that moment did I see,
I never realised what you meant to me,
From the days you filled with sunlight,
To the laughter in you eyes ,
To the making and the breaking
of the day you said goodbye,
We shared a brief but magic song,
By the first leaves of autumn,
you were gone
Not until the hearts defence is down
Not until ould come-all-ye comes round ,
Not until that moment did I see,
Never realised what you meant to me
Not until the rain has touched my face,
Not until the first leaves fell from space,
Not until that moment did I see,
Never realised what you meant to me,
