about

Lyrics written in one day, near the end of September. All of the days around it were still warm, summer weather, and that one day was at least twenty degrees colder than the rest of the week.

Finished 9/27/2013

Originally premiered at the composer's senior recital on April 26th, 2014 at Montgomery Evangelical Free Church, this recording is from a recording session of the recital done at Woodrock Studios in Raritan, NJ.

lyrics

Summer's warmth has gone away,
Winter's chill soon here to stay,
Days are shorter,
Nights are longer,
Autumn now is with us.

Greens are all of diff'rent hues,
Changing old familiar views.
Fires are lighting,
So inviting,
Embers all aflame!

Time's forever passing by,
Fleeting visions in the eye.
Thoughts of sadness,
Summer madness,
Are no longer here.

Faces of those dear to us,
Would they were still here with us.
Mem'ries of those times gone by,
When things were good, and life seemed fun.

Summer's warmth has gone away,
Winter's chill soon here to stay,
Days are shorter,
Nights are longer,
Autumn now is with us.

Time is never on our side,
Sorrows we can never hide.
But each season's onward passing,
Brings fresh hope anew!
