Autumn Nocturne
Lou Donaldson
When autumn sings her lullaby
And green leaves turn to gold
Then I remember last September
You and I said goodbye
Whispering that we would be returning
When autumn comes again
Now autumn roams the hills once more
But you forgot your vow
Now here am I with only memories
Only golden memories, autumn memories of you
Love, when the leaves are turning
I get a hungry yearning for your arms
Love, when a heart is so blue
It shadows bright October's golden charm
The flaming moon reminds me of
The night of love that we once knew
Each tiny star is but a prayer that, when it's fall again
Love will call again
And you'll be beside me to make my autumn dreams come true
