First Leaves of Autumn       Gallagher & Lyle

[C] As the daylight turns to starlight
and the [F] season turns to [G] change,
I [C] get the same ould answers
but the [F] question still re - [G]- mains.
We shared a brief but magic [F] song,
By the [G] first leaves of au-[Fm]-tumn,
you were [C] gone,

Chorus
[C] Not until the [F] rain has [G] touched my [C] face,
Not until the [F] first leaves [G] fell from [C] space,
Not until that [F] moment [G] did I [Am] see,
I [C] never [G7] realised what you [F] meant [G7] to [C]me,

From the days you filled with sunlight,
To the laughter in you eyes ,
To the making and the breaking
of the day you said goodbye,
We shared a brief but magic song,
By the first leaves of autumn,
you were gone

Not until the hearts defence is down
Not until ould come-all-ye comes round ,
Not until that moment did I see,
Never realised what you meant to me

Not until the rain has touched my face,
Not until the first leaves fell from space,
Not until that moment did I see,
Never realised what you meant to me,

Finish
I never realised what you meant to me,
