Autumn Leaves (song) Slow the leaves fall in the autumn cold. A long long time before when I did what I was told. You were standing there with your long brown hair like you didn't care at all. But I, I was a fool and I just couldn't stop to talk. Oh that was an age ago when I was young and you were you and now I've watched you grow and bloom and do all the things you wanted to. But autumn leaves are still falling and when they fall I know they fall for you and another day is dawning when I hope and pray that you remember me as I remember you.
