First Days Of Fall Lyrics - Tim O'brien

At the end of the summer there's a couple of days 

Before the weather starts shiftin' and changin' it's ways 

The winds blow so gently on the things lovers do 

And that was the season when I first met you 

We fell so deep in love, nothin' to fear 

It came to be our favorite time of the year 

And now every autumn makes a bittersweet call 

I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall 

It's early September, school days once more 

And I watch the little kids walk by my door 

We always planned to have some of our own 

But that was the old days, how far they have flown 

I smile at the neighbor boy makin' his way 

My heart starts sinkin' and I turn away 

To a picture of me and you there on the wall 

I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall 

I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall 

I try to stand tall, to keep up my pride 

I'm hiding the big hole that's deep here inside 

I'm a man with no purpose, just walkin' around 

Among lovers and children, alone in their crowd 

There's no use in tryin' to plan out my day 

It's just gonna end in the same silent way 

And this time of year it's no use at all 

I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall 

Now every autumn sounds a bittersweet call 

I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall 

I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall
