In Autumn Dreams

In autumn dreams, I see your face aglow
     You’re by my side; we’re lying in the leaves
Your warmth transcends the chilly winds that blow
     And then I wake to know that my heart grieves

You’re by my side; we’re lying in the leaves
     A golden sun is listening to our love
And then I wake to know that my heart grieves
     I’m all alone, a hand without a glove

A golden sun is listening to our love
     Yet just in dreams, can you still be with me?
I’m all alone, a hand without a glove
     And just in thoughts can your face, I still see

Yet just in dreams can you still be with me
     I wake to find I’m in an empty bed
And just in thoughts can your face, I still see
     I hear your whispered secrets in my head

You’re by my side; we’re lying in the leaves
     Your warmth transcends the chilly winds that blow
A golden sun is listening to our love
     In autumn dreams, I see your face aglow
