First
Verse
Autumn, Autumn, look what you've done,
You've made a baby of me, Autumn, Autumn, your setting sun
Pictures a sad memory. Whenever leaves begin to fall, Home
again I seem to be:
Second
Verse
Autumn, Autumn, seems like you know, You
took my best pal from me, Autumn, Autumn, long, long ago Now
you feel sorry I see. I know your leaves are just your tears,
Falling in sweet sympathy.
Chorus
I get so blue thru and thru when the leaves
come a tumbling down from the trees, down thru the breeze,
I always sigh and I cry when the sun says "Goodbye"
to the birds and the bees, their sweet melodies, I never shed
a tear when the summer days are here, But when it's autumn
time, Every thought of mine, seems so dark and drear, I always
sing that lonesome Spring Song melody because you see, It
makes me think of someone i na gingham gown in my home town,
I hear my old girl say a pray'r beside my mother's vacant
chair, I get so blue thru and thru When the leaves come a
tumbling down.

First
Verse
Just like the sunrise, you came to me it
seems, Just like the sunrise, you woke me from my dreams.
You were my sunshine, in days that used to be; I await the
sunset, for now you're leaving me.
Second
Verse
Your smiles are sunshine upon on a rainy
day, They bring me gladness, and drive my blues away. Before
you go, dear, just smile once more for me; It will always
be, dear, My treasured memory.
Chorus
Tho' it's time for parting, and my tears
are starting, Leave me with a smile. Tho' your heart may cry,
dear; When you say goodbye, dear, Leave me with a smile. Maybe
it's forever, So while we're together, For a little while;
Hold me like a flower, For one little hour, And leave me with
a smile.

First
Verse
Last night dear heart while I lay sleeping,
I thought I heard you softly weeping, And although t'was but
a dream, I held you in my arms it seemed, Just as I did in
happy days gone by.
Second
Verse
Your smiles bring gladness like the sunshine,
Your absence only makes my heart pine, Time goes by and still
I find, That you are always on my mind. I'm coming back to
claim you just because.
Chorus
Many's the time you told me you loved me,
Many's the time I pressed you to my breast, In the golden
summer time when you promised to be mine, We sealed it with
a fond carress Many's the time we strolled through the wild
wood. Many's the time our hearts were filled with glee, While
the old moon softly shone. Down the lane that leads to home.
Many's the time you whispered love to me.
