Lyrics
Music by Haim Cotton
Lyric by Tom Toce
The Autumn of Our Love
We had a moment.
We had a moment,
And I blew the chance to seize the day.
It wasn't autumn.
It wasn't autumn; it was spring:
I could have made you stay.
Back in the days of May,
I could have loved you more.
I should have loved you more
When time was going slow,
But I was foolish and afraid--what did I know?
What do we ever know?
I don't see how I chose to let you go.
Harsh breezes blow,
Here in the autumn of our love.
It was September,
If I remember,
And rememb'rings all I seem to do.
It wasn't autumn,
But near the very end of summer
By the time I knew:
Too late, too little, too.
I could have loved you more.
I should have loved you more--
What good is knowing now?
It may be smarter knowing when than knowing how.
What good is knowing how?
I needed faith; it's faith that drives the vow.
Dark mornings now,
Here in the autumn of our love.
The end of autumn,
And the autumn of our love.
