Quietly as leaves falling to the ground
so too my heart to yours
slowly softly perhaps as yet unseen
outside my control falling yet again
As yellow and orange carpet the grass
my heart does do the same
spreading itself a carpet to your heart
intertwined covering all the hurts past
Falling quicker as time goes by
as leaves now from the trees
leaving me reaching you
this love forever true
Awash in colors falling all around
my heart now yours there is no sound
just two beats yours and mine together
falling in unison now and forever
