Lyrics

The sum mer sun is fad ing as the (C)year grows old,

and dark er days are draw ing near

The win ter winds will be much cold er,

now you’re not here.

The sum mer sun is fad ing as the (C)year grows old,

and dark er days are draw ing near

The win ter winds will be much cold er,

now you’re not here.

Like the (F)song thro’ the trees you came to love me,

like the (F)leaf on a breeze you blew a (C)way.

The sum mer sun is fad ing as the (C)year grows old,

and dark er days are draw ing near

The win ter winds will be much cold er,

now you’re not here.

Like the (F)song thro’ the trees you came to love me,

like the (F)leaf on a breeze you blew a (C)way.

’Cause you’re not here,

’cause you’re not (Dm)here.

The sum mer sun is fad ing as the (C)year grows old,

and dark er days are draw ing near

The win ter winds will be much cold er,

now you’re not here.

Like the (F)song thro’ the trees you came to love me,

like the (F)leaf on a breeze you blew a (C)way.

’Cause you’re not here,

’cause you’re not (Dm)here.

’Cause you’re not here,

’cause you’re not (Dm)here.

A gen tle rain falls soft ly on my (C)wea ry eyes,

as if to hide a lone ly tear.

My life will be for ev er au tumn

’cause you’re not here.

’cause you’re not here.

’cause you’re not here.

’Cause you’re not here,

’cause you’re not (C)here,

’cause you’re not (Dm)(here.)

’cause you’re not (C)here,

’cause you’re not
