Cassandra Wilson Autumn Nocturne Lyrics

Autumn Nocturne Lyrics

When autumn sings her lullaby

And green leaves turn to gold

Then I remember last September

You and I said goodbye

Whispering that we would be returning

When autumn comes again



Now autumn roams the hills once more

But you forgot your vow

Now here am I with, alone with only memories

Only lonely memories, autumn memories of you



Love, when the leaves are turning

I get a hungry yearning for your arms

Love, when a heart is so blue

It shadows bright October's golden charm



The flaming moon reminds me of

The night of love that we once knew

Each tiny star is but a prayer

That when it's fall again, love will call again

And you'll be beside me to make

My autumn dreams come true



Love, when the leaves are turning

I get a hungry yearning for your arms

Love, when a heart is so blue

It shadows bright October's golden charm



The flaming moon reminds me of

The night of love that we once knew

Each tiny star is but a prayer

That when it's fall again, love will call again

And you'll be beside me to make

My autumn dreams come true
