I folded my hands together
And hoped that you would stay
I know that our days are long
But that our time fades away
I remember that once we could laugh
At the stupid things we do
I need a place to keep my memories
I want to keep them here with you
Look behind you and you’ll see
The leaves have fallen down
Winter will bring colder nights
The air is still of sound
We could close the door and break
Away from what we knew
Or keep the memories in mind
As I build my life with you
When arguments all fall away
And the days turn into years
When I’m quiet in my bed
I hope that you’ll be near
To hold my hand and keep me strong
Fallen leaves are beautiful too
And in the place you keep our memories
I will be there with you
