paroles de chanson Autumn of My Life - Bobby Bare

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 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

In the autumn of my years I noticed the tears
And I knew that our lives 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 just what do you say to a child only ten?
How do you tell him that his daddy's going away?
I wonder do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life?
And that perhaps he'll understand some cold winter's day

Now the rose can't be found on the 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 am content in the autumn of my life
