Autumn Of My Life lyrics

Artist  : Bobby Goldsboro 
Song : Autumn Of My Life
 
												
														   In the spring of my life she
came to me

 She brought sunshine where winter winds had
blown

 Then I took her for my wife in the spring of my
life

 And she brought me a joy I'd never known

 

 And the years they went by in the spring of my
life

 And in summer she blessed me with a child

 Love continued to grow in the summer of my
life

 And in every morning sun I saw her smile

 

 But in the autumn of my years I noticed the
tears

 And I knew that our life was in the past

 Though I tried to pretend, I knew it was the
end

 For the autumn of my life had come at last

 

 Now what, what do you say to a child of ten?

 How do you tell him his daddy's goin' away?

 Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my
life

 And that he'll understand some winter's day?

 

 Now a rose can't be found on a snow-covered
ground

 And the sun cannot shine through cloudy skies

 But I'm richer, you see, for the years she gave
to me

 And I'm content in the autumn of my life
