The Autumn leaves are falling now,
The air is getting cold.
And here I sit, still loving you,
Although you can’t be told.
November comes, though colder still
My love for you burns on.
Why can’t I just stop loving you?
Why can’t I carry on?
And as the snow begins to fall
I ponder by the fire
The separate worlds from which we come,
So maddens my desire
For you to have, for you to hold,
For you to keep and love,
For you to stay right by my side
Until we go above
And yet I know it cannot be,
No way, no how, not ever
Not in fall, winter, summer, spring
No matter what the whether
For you and I will never be
How sad it is, and true
That separate worlds will never join
Until I join with you.
