Autumn Of My Life lyrics

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 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 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 going away?
Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life
and that he`ll understand some winter`s day?

Now the rose can`t be found on a snow covered ground.
and the Sun can not shine through cloudy skys.
But I`m richer you see for the years she gave to me
and I`m content in the autumn of my life.
