There's No You
Jo Stafford Lyrics

Feel the autumn breeze,
I can feel the cool wind of autumn blowing and passing over my face,

It steals 'cross my pillow
With its gentle breeze, the wind moves swiftly over my pillow,

As soft as a will-o'-the-wisp,
The wind's movements are graceful and almost magical, reminiscent of a will-o'-the-wisp,

And in its song there is sadness
The melody of the wind carries melancholic notes, evoking a feeling of sadness,

Because there's no you,
The sadness stems from the fact that the person I long for is not here with me,

The lonely autumn trees,
The trees around me seem isolated and desolate,

How softly they're sighing,
The trees seem to let out a soft and subdued sigh,

For summer is dying,
The trees realize that the summer season is coming to an end,

They know that in my heart
The trees are aware that in my heart,

There's no gladness
There is no feeling of joy or happiness,

Because there's no you,
Because the one I love is not here with me,

The park that we walked in,
I reminisce about the park where we used to take long walks together,

The garden we talked in,
I remember the garden where we would sit and talk for hours,

How lonesome they seem in the fall,
Now, in the fall, these places seem isolated and solitary,

The stormy clouds hover,
The sky above is filled with dark, brooding clouds,

And falling leaves cover
The ground is littered with the fallen leaves of autumn,

Our favourite nook in the wall,
Our favorite place by the wall now seems empty and lonely,

In spring we'll meet again,
Come spring, we will see each other once more,

We'll kiss and recapture
We'll embrace each other and recapture

The summertime rapture we knew,
The happiness and joy of our past summer will once again be ours,

And from that day,
Starting from that moment,

Never more will I say there's no you
I will never say or feel like you are not here with me again.
