As the daylight turns to starlight
And the seasons turn to change
I get the same old answers
But the question still remains
We shared a brief but magic song
By the first leaves of autumn
You were gone
Not until the rain had touched my face
Not until the first leaves fell from space
Not until that moment did I see
I never realised what you meant to me
Instrumental
Verse
From the days you filled with sunlight
To the laughter in you eyes
To the making and the breaking
Of the day you said goodbye
We shared a brief but magic song
By the first leaves of autumn
You were gone
Not until the hearts defence is down
Not until some old come all ye comes round
Not until that moment did I see
Never realised what you meant to me
Not until the rain had touched my face
Not until the first leaves fell from space
Not until that moment did I see
I never realised what you meant to me
I never realised what you meant to me
