Autumn of My Life — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

(Bobby Goldsboro)

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.

In the autumn of my years I noticed the tears
And I knew that our lives was in the past
Though I`ve tried to pretend I knew it was the end
For the autumn of my life had come at last.

Now just what do you say to a child only ten
How do you tell him that his daddy`s goin` away
I wonder do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life
And that perhaps he`ll understand some cold winter`s day.

Now the rose can`t be found on the snow covered ground
And the sun cannot shine through cloudy skies
But I`m richer you see for the years she gave to me
And I am content in the autumn of my life...
