Lyrics

Let the Leaves Go Their Way

As a boy I used to cry
I'd watch old trees and wonder why
come Fall their green leaves had to rust
but as I grew up I learned,
May rolls around...and they return
so all you can do is just..

CH: ..let the leaves go their way
let life have its rest
they'll find their way back someday
like the sun from the west
so let the leaves go their way.
Let the leaves go their way.

When my true love went away,
I wanted to make her stay
like lonely men will sometimes do,
but I let her be free,
and soon she returned to me
all because seasons taught me to..

..let the leaves go their way
let love have its rest
it finds its way back someday
like the sun from the west
so let the leaves go their way.
Let the leaves go their way.

When cold November comes,
and touches a loved one
it leaves only memories for us
but as I've grown I have learned,
in time all good things return
so with courage now I must..

..let the leaves go their way
let life have its rest
it finds its way back someday
like the sun from the west
so let the leaves go their way.
Let the leaves go their way.

Repeat chorus.
