Leaves That Are Green

I was twenty-one years old When I wrote this song I'm twenty-two now But I won't be for long Time hurries on {Chorus} And the leaves that are green Turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand Once my heart was filled With the love of a girl I held her close But she faded in the night Like a poem I meant to write {Chorus} I threw a pebble in a brook And watched the ripples run away And they never made a sound {Chorus} Hello, hello, hello, hello Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye That's all there is And the leaves that are green Turned to brown
