THE LEAVES THAT ARE GREEN
(Paul Simon)
Simon & Garfunkel


I was 21 years when I wrote this song
I'm 22 now but I won't be for long
Time hurries on
And the leaves that are green turn to brown.

Refrain:
And they wither with the wind-
And they crumble in your hand.

Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl
I held her close but she fainted in the night
Like a poem I meant to write
And the leaves that are green turn to brown.


Hello hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
That's all there is 
And the leaves that are green turn to brown.
