Autumn
for Karin, the love of my life

In the autumn of our lives
Will you dance with me
To that lovely song
From our first movie?

In the autumn of our lives
Will we still have dreams
and laugh and cry
Reliving old memories?

In the autumn of our lives
Will you still look at me
With a young girl’s eyes
And say my name?

In the autumn of our lives
Will the smile in a grandchild’s eyes
Tell us that at least
We did some things right?

I might even need you more
Than I could imagine now
My Love
And hope you’ll stay with me
Be with me
Live a life with me...

In the winter of our lives
When every leaf has fallen down
And the trees seem sad
One of us has left...

In the winter of our lives
Will the presence of our love
Fill the emptiness
Through the barriers of time?

I might even need you more
Than you could imagine now
My Love
Hope you’ll stay with me
Be with me
Live your life with me
Through the winter of our lives
