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

About “Forever Autumn”

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Forever Autumn" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Bb, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Forever Autumn" by Jeff Wayne in?
The backing track is in Bb at 132 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Forever Autumn" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Forever Autumn"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Forever Autumn", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Forever Autumn" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Forever Autumn"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Forever Autumn"?
"Forever Autumn" was originally performed by Jeff Wayne. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Jeff Wayne are available?
Other accompaniments by Jeff Wayne: "Brave New World (from War Of The Worlds)", "Forever Autumn (from War Of The Worlds)", "The Eve Of The War (from War Of The Worlds)". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Bb, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Forever Autumn" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
