Autumn Of My Life Lyrics - Singles - Goldsboro Bobby

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 

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 

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 

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?
