Leaves That Are Green Songtext
von Ronnie Hawkins

I was 21 years when I wrote this song
I′m 35 now, but I won't be for long
Time hurries on

And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand

Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem, I meant to write


And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand

I threw a pebble into a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound

And the leaves that are green turned to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand

And the leaves that were green
They turned to brown
