Autumn Leaves Lyrics

by Donna Hughes

Verse 1 On a hillside.... back in the woods
Far away from town
There's an old abandoned graveyard
Lost & forgotten all about

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e64433-donna_hughes~autumn_leaves_lyrics.html ]
The world has changed and no one knows
The ones laid there to rest beneath the pines
Their names have faded on the forest floor
On the stones that are all they left behind

Chorus The world is turning..... the sun will shine
Without you and me
One day we'll leave it all behind
Underneath the autumn leaves

Verse 2 If they were ever in a hurry
It didn't do them any good
Rich or poor they're all the same now
Resting in these old forgotten woods

I still wonder where they came from
And if they felt the same as you and me
I wonder who will stand above me
When I come to rest beneath the autumn leaves

Chorus The world is turning..... the sun will shine
Without you and me
One day we'll leave it all behind
Underneath the autumn leaves
