oh the leaves
the glowing leaves
how they shine
oh the trees
the trees so bare
she told her story
and her supple strength
it shone with glory
in her wrinkly face
her dear ones and her lost ones
the good days and the bad
the yesterdays and bygones
the sad times and the glad
oh the leaves
the glowing leaves
how they shine
oh the trees
the trees so bare
I'm looking back she said
in gratefulness
you look ahead she said
and I am blessed
you walk your path she said
you live your love
your days are mine she said
how they shine
oh the leaves
the glowing leaves
how they shine
oh the trees
the trees so bare
