The leaves of spring that once were green
Are turning now to brown
The leaves of spring that once were green
Are fallin' to the ground

Come away
For we are like the leaves of spring
We stay but a moment
And then we must fade away

The tide comes up and then goes down
The sea will not be still
We can not change the wind and sea
No matter what we will

Wind and sea
Will soon wash over you and me
No one will remember
What the wind and the sea washed away

The leaves of spring that once were green
Have faded like a dream
The leaves of spring that once were green
Have drifted down the stream

Come with me
Tomorrow is so far away
Yesterday has ended
But today is for you and for me
