Autumn's Here for Me (piano/vocal demo)

Jeff Gordon

September 13 - Sunday skirmish, prompt - Autumn. Had to start late but glad I was able to participate. AABA form, a song about getting older.

V1:
Autumn’s Here for Me
And even though I’m getting older
There’s still much more to see
Clear blue skies and rocky boulders
And waking up beside you
Fresh coffee to start the day
A nice long walk down by the park
Where our children used to play

V2:
Autumn’s Here for Me
Sometimes I wish that I were younger
Would I live differently
Maybe chased a different hunger
But then I see the folly
In wishing the past away
And missing all those days and nights
A good life to portray

B:
Seasons come, seasons go
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow
Each moment has a meaning
Be careful which way you’re leaning

V3:
Autumn’s Here for Me
And though I may not look to Winter
I sense reality
Feelings that will never splinter
Listen to the wind blow
While my body starts to fray
Continue on this human path
And cherish each and every day
