GOLDEN AUTUMNv6

[Intro] [Instrumental:] Golden autumn, what are you doing to my soul… [Verse 1: intimate, soft] Golden autumn… What are you doing to me? You haunt my dreams at night, Luring me with quiet beauty. Scattering leaves beneath my feet — As if you whisper softly: “Let’s take a walk together today!” (“Let’s take a walk together today!”) [Chorus: wide, open, rising] I’m just savoring Your beauty on this day, Standing here upon the porch, Drinking in the autumn air. Let the leaves keep swirling down, Rain taps out of time and place — My beloved’s heart will shield me From all the storms and pain. [Verse 2: warmer, slight rise] How nature painted The birch leaves in gold, With crimson hues she colored The maples in the park. How the bushes flash with color, Arguing with each other, Showering leaves upon the passersby Right at their feet, with love. [Chorus: full power] I’m just savoring Your beauty on this day, Standing here upon the porch, Drinking in the autumn air. Let the leaves keep swirling down, Rain taps out of time and place — My beloved’s heart will shield me From all the storms and pain. [Bridge: emotional peak] I just want to walk with my love, Arm in arm through the park, Stirring up old memories, Listening to the rustle of leaves. I want to remember every moment, Every bright shade of you. Even if this moment Is only mine in a dream tonight. [Verse 3: intimate, quiet] Maybe right now I’m only seeing This autumn by the porch, But in my eyes there’s sparkling All its living beauty still. And in reply I hear her say: “It’ll come back, my dear, There’ll be a day you’ll come to me, And then we’ll walk again. Through the park, together, side by side.” [Final Chorus: maximum power] I’m just savoring Your beauty on this day, Standing here upon the porch, Drinking in the autumn air. Let the leaves keep swirling down, Rain taps out of time and place — My beloved’s heart will shield me From all the storms and pain. I’m just savoring Your beauty on this day, Standing here upon the porch, Drinking in the autumn air. Let the leaves keep swirling down, Rain taps out of time and place — My beloved’s heart will shield me From all the storms and pain. [Outro: soft, fading] Golden autumn… I’m waiting for that day, When I can finally walk again In the park… Hand in hand with my beloved… (Hand in hand with my beloved…) (Hand in hand with my beloved…) [fade out] [End]
