Thread Name: Origins/ADD: Autumn Leaves / Les Feuilles Mortes
Subject: 'Autumn Leaves' lyrics, please
I know it's not a trad./folk song, but I'd love to sing the beautiful 'Autumn Leaves' by Johnny Mercer, Joseph Kozma, Jacques Prevert. However, I only have one verse, as follows:

The falling leaves drift by my window / The falling leaves are all red and gold / I see your lips, the summer kisses / The sunburnt hands I used to hold / Since you went away the days grow long / And soon I hear old winter song / But I miss you most of all, my darling / When autumn leaves start to fall

If anyone has more, either in English or the original French, I'd be very grateful.
