Fall comes around

Only once a year

Because of this

I have only one fear

Please oh please don’t touch those leaves

Their color and beauty put my mind at ease

They will fall off the tree

Your help they don’t need

Please oh please don’t touch those leaves

Those leaves change colors

Beautiful orange yellow and red

When they’re laying on the ground

Remember what I said

Please oh please don’t touch those leaves

Their color and beauty put my mind at ease

Even on the ground

They’re the prettiest thing around

Please oh please don’t touch those leaves

Three weeks have passed

Every leaf is now brown

With every step

They make a crunchy sound

But please oh please don’t touch those leaves

A big ole pile is what my heart needs

To jump and to play in

Before they go to the trash bin

One last go around to put my mind at ease

Please oh please don’t touch those leaves
