[Verse 1] The leaves are turning copper, drifting slow across the lane, I walk a little softer now, but love still calls my name. At seventy‑plus I never thought my heart would stir again, Yet here you are, warm as a lantern in the rain. [Verse 2] The air is crisp with promise, like a story half‑retold, A season made for courage when the days grow bright and cold. I feel your hand beside me, steady, gentle, sure to hold, And wonder how this fall became a love so bold. [Chorus1] So deep is the October night, So warm your hand in mine tonight, So sweet this fall‑born love we write, So brave our hearts in autumn’s light, So Deep Is the October Night [Verse 3] We’ve lived through many winters, carried joy and carried ache, We’ve learned that time is precious and that hearts can bend, not break. But something in October made a quiet vow awake— To love again, for our own sweet autumn’s sake. [Verse 4] The dusk is deep and tender, with a hush that feels like grace, A silver moon above us, drawing shadows on your face. I never knew that falling could be such a soft embrace, Or that late‑life love could find this perfect place. [Chorus2] So deep is the October night, So warm your hand in mine tonight, So sweet this fall‑born love we write, So brave our hearts in autumn’s light, So Deep Is the October Night [Verse 5] So let the branches whisper, let the night wind hum its tune, We’ll walk through falling colours under this October moon. Two souls who thought the dance was done now sway in gentle swoon, Finding love again, unexpectedly, in bloom. [Verse 6] And if tomorrow’s colder, if the frost begins to bite, We’ll wrap ourselves in memory and hold each other tight. For love that comes in autumn still can carry through the night— A quiet flame that glows in fading light. [Chorus 3] So deep is the October night, So warm your hand in mine tonight, So sweet this fall‑born love we write, So brave our hearts in autumn’s light, So Deep Is the October Night [Fade‑Off ] The leaves tumble down in silence, as the gloamin’ steals the light, Your hand in mine grows dearer as the day slips into night, Auld hearts can bloom in autumn when the world turns gold and bright, An’ love still finds its wanderers on a crisp October flight, So Deep Is the October Night
