Autumn Of My Life lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Autumn Of My Life lyrics (peak Billboard position # 19 in 1968) Words and Music by 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 d 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 goin away? Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life And that he ll understand some winter s day? Now a rose can t be found on a 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 m content in the autumn of my life song lyrics
