Now the summer days are ending, leaves are falling, red and gold Now the warmth of love is fading and the nights are getting cold From the east the wind is blowing, now the sky's no longer blue Overhead the clouds are growing, summer's gone and so are you
You wanted to be free, love was just a game to you And you never meant to be at this autumn rendez-vous
All the happiness life gave me changed to emptiness today Now that you no longer love me, autumn's come, it's here to stay Life seems empty now without you, it's not easy to forget I may learn to live without you but I'll always feel regret
I would cry but it's no good, tears won't bring you back to me Though I'd stop you if I could, I can't change what has to be
With the years I'll still remember and in time the hurt will go I'll forget this sad September and be glad I loved you so.
