[Verse 1] The garden bloomed in youthful light, Every blossom bright and new, But spring is only passing through Like morning dew. [Chorus] Gather the roses, Hold them near, Summer is brief, Autumn is here. [Verse 2] The songs once sung without a care Now carry shades of memory, And every flower that falls reminds How sweet impermanence can be. [Chorus] Gather the roses, Hold them near, Summer is brief, Autumn is here. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Gather the roses, Hold them near, Summer is brief, Autumn is here. [Outro] Like morning dew, The spring slips through.
