The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near,
the winter winds will be much colder,
now you're not here

I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them,
now you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way
you always loved this time of year

Loose fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
'Cause you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
a gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
as if to hide a lonely tear

My life will be forever autumn
'Cause you're not here
.

Just Justin Hayward actually, not the whole Moody Blues but still possibly the most heartbreaking song every written.......
