My sincere apologies- I know we’re just heading into summer but this melody came to me and then the words, about leaves dancing and it just became an autumnal song and
a reflection on life and the seasons.
Sorry about that - maybe come back to this one in October
An original song with chords and lyrics
melody and lyrics by Harriet Barbir
g. am, d, g
The leaves are dancing with the wind today
they’re tumbling down as if they want to play
before the winter sweeps them all away
they dance together for another day
g. am, d, g
Time is fleeting, autumns almost done
we’ve said goodbye to spring and summer sun
each day the golden leaves form a little more
a vibrant carpet laid upon earth’s floor.
chorus
(em) and you and i have watched the seasons’s hue (c)
(g) and things keep changing like they always do(d)
(em) lets just embrace the changes come what may(c)
(g) and dance together for another day(d)
(g) The days grow shorter, (am) darker nights draw near
But I wont care so (d) long as you are here(g)
Time keeps passing (am)?and all things move on
(d) that’s the one thing we can rely upon (g)
chorus
(em) you and i have watched the seasons’s hue(c)
and (g) things keep changing like they always do(d)
(em) lets just embrace the changes come what (c) may
and (g) dance together for another day(d)
(am) and when the shadow falls (d)
(em) we’ll still be standing tall (d7)
(g) The world grows quiet as the colors (am)fade,
A patchwork (d) carpet nature’s hands have made (g)
(g)We walk together through the autumn air(am)
Towards (d) tomorrow and a life we share. (g)
