Andy Ragga, Justefunk Funk, Damian Marley Golden leaves

The summer sun has left us now, the days are growing cold
The trees are dressed in amber, red, and shades of gold
I walk beneath the canopy of falling, fading light
And watch the leaves come tumbling down, so graceful in their flight

They dance upon the pavement, they swirl around my feet
They paint the world in colors that are bittersweet and fleet
I catch one in my open hand, so fragile and so dry
It whispers of the passing time, it tells me not to cry

Golden leaves are falling, falling to the ground
The silence of the autumn makes a gentle sound
Let the summer go, let the winter come
In the season of release, we are never really done
Like the leaves that drift away, we learn to let things be
There's beauty in the falling, if you only stop and see

I remember summer laughter, nights that never end
The warmth upon my shoulders, the presence of a friend
But now the air is crisp and clear, the sky a softer blue
And everything is slowing down, the way the seasons do

I think about the moments that I held too tight
Afraid to watch them fade away into the fading light
But autumn is a teacher, with wisdom soft and deep
It shows me that to let things go is how we learn to keep

Golden leaves are falling, falling to the ground
The silence of the autumn makes a gentle sound
Let the summer go, let the winter come
In the season of release, we are never really done
Like the leaves that drift away, we learn to let things be
There's beauty in the falling, if you only stop and see
