Autumn Of My Life Lyrics

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
