Autumn Rendez-Vous (Rendez-Vous D'Automne)

Now the summer days are ending, leaves are falling, red and gold
Now the warmth of love is fading and the nights are getting cold
From the east the wind is blowing, now the sky's no longer blue
Overhead the clouds are growing, summer's gone and so are you

You wanted to be free, love was just a game to you
And you never meant to be at this autumn rendez-vous

All the happiness life gave me changed to emptiness today
Now that you no longer love me, autumn's come, it's here to stay
Life seems empty now without you, it's not easy to forget
I may learn to live without you but I'll always feel regret

I would cry but it's no good, tears won't bring you back to me
Though I'd stop you if I could, I can't change what has to be

With the years I'll still remember and in time the hurt will go
I'll forget this sad September and be glad I loved you so.
