There is a song, by Tex Williams, which has a chorus: The leaf of love is slowly falling Like winter storm with rain and snow You broke my heart in one short moment, The Leaf of Love is falling low.

If thats close enough, I can post the three verses.

LEAF OF LOVE
by Tex Williams and Bob Newman

CHORUS: The (G) leaf of (G7) love is (C) slowly (G) falling
Like winter storm with rain and (D7) snow
You (G) broke my (G7) heart in (C) one short (G) moment,
(C) The (G) Leaf of (D7) Love is falling (G) low.

I'll ne'er forget at our first meeting
Oh, maybe it was meant to be,
I didn't think you'd prove false hearted,
And kill the soul inside of me.

How could you go and leave me lonely,
I had no one to call my own,
The tree that bore my love for you, dear,
Has shed it's leaves, my love has flown.

Life's stormy road I'm travelin' on now,
Where I will end, God only knows
A beaten rock along the river,
Is quiet and peaceful where it flows.


The little bk things did not do their job in my first post. Hope they behaved better this time.
