Leaves Lyrics

Ain't it funny how the leaves only fall once from their trees

Yet you and I we watch them all the time

So girl fix your dress and your hair is a mess

But you kill me with those big brown eyes

Bourbon Street wasn't all we had dreamed

But we always found something to laugh about

And New Orleans is the place where we

Had learned so much about you and me

As the leaves they fell from their trees

As autumn took my summer by surprise

I sang you songs, on our 9 hour drive

We promised to never let these moments pass us by

Let's pull off this river

And watch the water shimmer

The rock face will shape shift in our minds

These 14 miles were only worth the while

Cause I'm floating down by your side

As the leaves they fell from their trees

As autumn took my summer by surprise

When the night retired

I had built you a fire and we promised to never let these moments pass us by

I sang Westbound Bart a million times

Til you were humming the melody in my bed

Cause my ears popped and your eyes watered

Is that forever stuck in your head

I wish you could read my heart just like a book

And all the chapters that I've written for you

You could pull my heart off your shelf and you could read just how I felt

Spending all my time with you

As the leaves they fell from their trees

As autumn took our summer by surprise

And after our fights we'll slow dance in the drive

And promise to never let these moments pass by
