Autumn Leaves

This time of year I always think of this song, and there are so many great versions, but the first time I ever heard it, I was quite young, and my Dad had an LP of Nat King Cole with this song on it. That's the voice I hear in my head:

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
