We built a home in golden light
Thought love would keep us warm at night
But seasons change, and hearts do too
Now autumn leaves remind me of you
The wind still whispers through the trees
Soft like all your memories
Falling leaves, drifting slow
Just like us, they let go
We were summer, we were bright
Now we're fading into night
I reach for you, but you're not there
Just a chill hangs in the air
Your sweater's folded by the door
But you don't wear it anymore
I keep the past like souvenirs
But even echoes disappear
The wind still whispers through the trees
Soft like all your memories
Falling leaves, drifting slow
Just like us, they let go
We were summer, we were bright
Now we're fading into night
I reach for you, but you're not there
Just a chill hangs in the air
Maybe love's a fleeting breeze
Meant to stay, then meant to leave
Maybe hearts must learn to break
So they know what's real, what's fake
Falling leaves, drifting slow
Just like us, they let go
We were summer, we were bright
Now we're fading into night
I reach for you, but you're not there
Just a chill hangs in the air
