Autumn Leaves
HAWAIIAN6 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The falling leaves.
Drift by the window.
The autumn leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips.
The summer kisses.
The sunburned hand.
I used to hold.
Since you went away.
The days grow long.
And soon I'll hear old winter's song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling.





When autumn leaves start to fall.

Overall Meaning

HAWAIIAN6's song Autumn Leaves is a melancholic ballad that reflects on the memories of a past love. The falling leaves outside the window serve as a metaphor for the fading of a relationship. The image of the autumn leaves of red and gold is also symbolic of the fleeting nature of love and the changing seasons of life. The singer remembers the summer kisses and the sunburnt hand of the person they used to hold.


The second stanza highlights the sorrow of the singer since their lover went away. The days grow long as they wait for their return, but soon winter’s song will be heard, signifying the end of autumn, and possibly the end of their relationship. The last line of the chorus, “But I miss you most of all, my darling. When autumn leaves start to fall,” is a poignant acknowledgment that despite the passing of time, the memory of their love still lingers and is strongest during the fall season.

Lyrics

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
