Autumn’s Glance
When I wander, through my memories
It’s not long before I find
There’s a place where I…long to linger…
When I first saw autumn’s glance
When the warm summer winds are moving
We walk along the way
On the path of this life-long journey
It’s autumn’s glance I recall
When I look back, beyond the present
It’s not hard to understand
How my life changed, for the better
When I first saw autumn’s glance
When we danced in the light of the fire
Shadows chased the night away
Morning sun brushed some hue through the meadow
Revealing autumn’s glance
When the warm summer winds are moving
We walk along the way
Some have asked, “What has made all the difference?”
“Autumn’s Glance”, is what I say
