Lyrics Les feuilles mortes - Récital au théâtre de l'etoile - Yves Montand

Oh how I wish I could remember
The joyful days when we were friends
At that time life was more beautiful
And the sun burned more than it does today
Fallen leaves can be picked up by the shovelful
You see, I haven't forgotten...
Fallen leaves can be picked up by the shovelful
So can memories and regrets
And the north wind takes them
Into the cold night of oblivion
You see, I haven't forgotten
The song you used to sing me
This song is like us
You used to love me and I used to love you
And we used to live together
You loving me, me loving you
But life separates lovers
Very slowly, noiselessly
And the sea erases on the sand
The separated lovers' footprints
