Autumn Of My Life:Bobby Goldsboro.
#19 in 68.
#1.
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 d never known.
#2.***(Chords are the same for the next verses***)
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.
#3.
But in the autumn of my years I noticed the tears,
And I knew that our life 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.
#4.
Now what, what do you say to a child of ten?
How do you tell him his daddy s goin away?
Do I tell him that I reached the autumn of my life
And that he ll understand some winter s day?
#5.
Now a rose can t be found on a 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 m content in the autumn of my life.
