Leaves That Are Green Composer(s): Paul Simon First release by: Paul Simon - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
I was 21 years when I wrote this song I'm 22 now but I won't be for long Time hurries on And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand
Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl I held her close but she fainted in the night Like a poem I meant to write And the leaves that are green turn to brown And they wither with the wind And they crumble in your hand
Hello hello hello hello Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye That's all there is And the leaves that are green turn to brown
