Maggie Reilly - One Autumn Day lyrics

One autumn day, he looked my way And promised me he'd never Leave me sad and blue He said he always knew We would be together So hand in hand, we wed as planned Our time was short, however As the world was turned around The innocence we'd found Was lost in stormy weather That autumn day, when he marched away I heard him say, forever He writes me every day Says everything's OK Soon things will be much better But late at night, as the candles' light Flickers in the darkness I see him over there The moonlight in his hair As stars explode around him
