Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long Time hurries on [Chorus] And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand [Verse 2] Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl I held her close, but she faded in the night Like a poem I meant to write [Chorus] And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand [Verse 3] I threw a pebble in a brook And watched the ripples run away And they never made a sound [Chorus] And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand [Verse 4] Hello, hello, hello, hello Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye That's all there is [Outro] And the leaves that are green turn to brown
