Autumn Of My Life lyrics
(peak Billboard position # 19 in 1968)
Words and Music by Bobby Goldsboro
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 goin away?
Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life
And that he ll understand some winter s 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
