English source:
Jeremy Sams
Here and there, some autumn leaves
A flash of colour here and there
When I see these autumn leaves
In wonderment I stop and stare
Then I try to pick a favourite
One to pin my hopes upon
Then the wind begins to shake it
And I whisper ‘Please hold on!’
When I see my leaf is falling
Why on earth should I be sad?
Look at me, I’m also falling
Crying crying
For every hope I had
Crying crying
For every hope I had
A flash of colour here and there
When I see these autumn leaves
In wonderment I stop and stare
Then I try to pick a favourite
One to pin my hopes upon
Then the wind begins to shake it
And I whisper ‘Please hold on!’
When I see my leaf is falling
Why on earth should I be sad?
Look at me, I’m also falling
Crying crying
For every hope I had
Crying crying
For every hope I had
