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 going away

Do I tell him that I
Reached the autumn of my life
And that he'll understand
Some winters 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
