All set for Saint Patrick's Day ( special posts on here as part of the celebrations )
The Fureys - The First Leaves of Autumn lyrics
As the daylight turns to starlight
And the seasons turn to change
I get the same old answers
but the questions still remain
We shared a brief but magic song
By first leaves of autumn...you were gone
Not until the rain had touched my face
Not until the first leaves fell from space
Not until that moment did I see
I never realized what you meant to me
(fiddle interlude)
From the days you filled with sunlight
To the laughter in your eyes
To the making and the breaking
Of the day you said goodbye
We shared a brief but magic song
By first leaves of autumn...you were gone
Not until the heart's defence is down
Not until some old come-all-ye comes 'round
Not until that moment did I see
Never realized what you meant to me
Not until the rain had touched my face
Not until the first leaves fell from space
Not until that moment did I see
Never realized what you meant to me
I never realized what you meant to me
