Lyrics
Summer is waning, people complaining,
They don't want it to go away
They feel let down, moping around,
Eyes turned down like they don't want to see.
But that's not me ... that's just not me
'cause I've already fallen for autumn, she's callin'
through colorful, rustling trees
I've already fallen for autumn, I welcome
her cool, overdue breeze.
Skies that are graying, maybe even raining
They don't get me down anymore
I look forward to heading home,
Home to stay, with holidays coming soon
And a harvest moon ... none too soon
I've already fallen for autumn, she's callin'
through colorful, rustling trees
I've already fallen for autumn, I welcome
her cool, overdue breeze.
So stop complaining, look at what you're gaining
At this magical time of year
It's football season, Halloween,
Pumpkin pies and apple cider too
(so) no more "boohoos" ... happy Thanksgiving to you!
Yes, I've already fallen for autumn, she's callin'
through colorful, rustling trees
And since I have fallen for autumn I know
I'll be sad when autumn leaves
I'll be sad when autumn leaves
