On a carpet sewn of leaves in a simple dress Made of crepe de shin, a gift of summer breeze In a lane the lady autumn danced a cross step waltz Sunny day flew away, the saxophone sang horsly And the people from the district came to join us And the birds flew over all the nearby roofs And they clapped their wings applauding to the golden dancer Oh how long, so long ago the music was playing there So often I see a dream Amazing, wonderful dream The autumn dances cross step waltz In sunny gleam And leaves are floating in still The disc of spinning vinyl Don’t go away, please stay with me ’Cause you’re my whim So often I see a dream Amazing, wonderful dream The autumn dances cross step waltz In sunny gleam The old house that fell in love with his own youth again Drunk with happiness, forgetting all the years that passed Opened wide all of the windows dancing to the rhythm Everyone who lived in could feel that wonder within When the music stopped the silence turned the street lights on What goes up that must come down in every story And raindrops fell from lady autumn’s lovely eyes Such a beautiful time is slowly fading away So often I see a dream Amazing, wonderful dream The autumn dances cross step waltz In sunny gleam And leaves are floating in still The disc of spinning vinyl Don’t go away, please stay with me ’Cause you’re my whim So often I see a dream Amazing, wonderful dream The autumn dances cross step waltz In sunny gleam
