waltz of the leaves - lyrics

"the waltz of the leaves" - original tune and lyrics by moi ... had to sing this in "D" for the octave leap (gasp) but i'd already worked out a break for it in "G."

whoa! - flattered that someone asked for the lyrics:

in the autumn of the year
you can find me here
at the golden pageant of leaves
i think of you and me
and how we used to be
before the sad gleaning of the trees

on a warm september night
in the pale moonlight
we were waltzing and turning around
but like the pretty colored leaves
that danced upon the breeze
our love withered on the ground

if we could only live our lives again
go back to the places we've been
i'd be asking you please to say with me
and dance the waltz of the leaves

Hello Bill, Can't get your tune out of my mind and that is a good thing.

Do you have sheet music written so that I might get a copy of the music?

Thanks Ken

@snowbird151 - thanks again - you're too kind! - no, alas, i don't have it written down (can't read or write notation) but if you simply play along with the video a few times, i'm sure you'll get it. please be sure to make a video of your rendition and post it to youtube! - kindest regards - bill

What a beautifully done song. Where did you find this tune? I have looked on line and have not been able to find the sheet music and lyrics.

Please let me know where to get this . You did a very masterful job.

Thanks Ken.

Bill, that's a great song you wrote, and you performed it so incredibly well, loved the break too (even though it was in a different key)!

That's a really beautiful song, and well played. Where can I find the lyrics?

Another nice song.

Well played and sung.
