[Verse 1]
When the golden leaves are falling, down the lane I used to know
my heart is long and far the days gone by.
The woodland trails are calling back to see them long ago
where we wander neath the bare October sky.
 
I can hear the brook that's blowing by the pathway through the dele,
I wish that I could be there once again.
Where the songbirds in the treetops sing to me their last farewell,
when the golden leaves were falling down the lane.
 
[Chorus 1]
When the golden leaves are falling then my memory always grazed
to see the woodland deles and glistening streams.
Oh, the sadness and the gladness of those near forgotten days
when the leaves were falling down the trail of green.
 
[Verse 2
DOnce when golden leaves were falling ‘round the schoolhouse in the dele,
we roamed the woods my childhood loved and I.
Hand in hand we stroll together or the glades we love so well,
there alone we watch the sunsets fade and die.
 
Like the angels up in heaven searching for a flower bear,
so, my darling's smile is pure as autumn rain.
Need the sicklemore we left her with a soft and tender prayer
when the golden leaves were falling down the lane.
 
[Chorus 2]
When the golden leaves are falling then my memory always strays
to scenes of woodland deles and glistening streams.
Oh, the sadness and the gladness of those near forgotten days
when the golden leaves were falling down the lane.
 
[End-Chorus]
When the golden leaves are falling then my memory always strays
to scenes of woodland deles and glistening streams.
Oh, the sadness and the gladness of those near forgotten days
when the golden leaves were falling down the lane.
