[Verse 1] The rain is falling on the empty street, Golden leaves are dancing at my feet. The city shines in colors washed with pain, And every window whispers your name. I see your face in every passing light, Your eyes still haunt me every autumn night. Your lips, that smile I can't erase, Are hiding somewhere in this rainy place. [Pre-Chorus] And one red leaf is falling from the sky, Like one last kiss before goodbye. I reach my hands into the rain, But all I touch is yesterday again. [Chorus] When autumn falls, I think of you, In every shade of red and blue. Your smile still burns through skies of gray, Though you are miles and miles away. When autumn falls, the leaves will know How much I loved you long ago. And every raindrop calls your name, Autumn comes… but love remains. [Verse 2] The streets are glowing underneath the rain, Neon colors running down the windowpane. I walk alone where we once used to be, But every corner brings you back to me. I remember your lips against the cold, Your hands in mine, the nights we couldn't hold. Your face beneath the amber city lights, A little piece of heaven in the night. [Pre-Chorus] And one pale leaf is lying on the ground, Like all the words we never said out loud. The wind keeps taking everything away, But it can't take what I still feel today. [Chorus] When autumn falls, I think of you, In every shade of red and blue. Your smile still burns through skies of gray, Though you are miles and miles away. When autumn falls, the leaves will know How much I loved you long ago. And every raindrop calls your name, Autumn comes… but love remains. [Guitar Solo] Melodic, emotional guitar solo — starting soft and lyrical, gradually becoming powerful and soaring. [Bridge — Quiet] If I could turn the seasons back, I'd find you waiting on our track. I'd hold your face beneath the rain, And kiss your lips like once again. But seasons change, and people go, Like falling leaves beneath the snow. Still, somewhere underneath the pain, I know I'd choose your love again. [Breakdown — Powerful] One fallen leaf! One final kiss! One autumn night! I still remember this! Your face! Your smile! Your lips in the rain! I lost you once… But I love you the same! [Final Chorus — Huge] When autumn falls, I think of you, In every shade of red and blue. Your smile still burns through skies of gray, Though you are miles and miles away. When autumn falls, the leaves will know How much I loved you long ago. And every raindrop calls your name, Autumn comes… but love remains. [Outro — Emotional] The last leaf falls… The rain comes down… Your memory still walks Through this autumn town. And if the spring brings flowers again, I'll still remember autumn rain… Because I lost you when autumn came… But I'll love you when the seasons change. [end]
