Bobby Goldsboro Autumn Of My Life Lyrics

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'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
