Intro: In the Spring of my life she came to me   She brought sunshine    where winter winds had blown   Then I took her for my wife in the spring of my life And she brought me a joy    I never known      And the years they went by in the spring of my life   And in summer    she blessed me with a child Love continued to grow in the summer of my life And in every morning sun    I saw her smile      But in the autumn of my years I noticed the tears   And I knew that our life was in the past Though I tried to pretend I knew it was the end For the autumn of my life    had come at last      Now what what do you say to a child of ten ?   How do you tell him his daddy’s going away ? Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life    And that he’ll understand    some winter’s day ?    Now the rose can’t be found on a snow covered ground   And the Sun    can not shine through cloudy skys But I’m richer you see for the years she gave to me And I’m content in the autumn of my life...
