I once was green and now I'm yellow

I used to greet the summer with a big warm hello

I was admired in the sky and the Earth all the same

I used to be a wld leaf but now I'm tame

I used to have some purpose but now It's gone

And I'm scared for my fall now that the wind's on the run

i hope to cling on to the life that I have of mine

To glow and glimmer and sparkle and shine

Now that I'm old i haven't much choice

I forget my regrets and try to rejoice

I'm going slow and make no haste

Cause no matter what, the best don't rest

I see that now my end is near

I don't have regrets nither any fear

Look at me now, now that I'm flying

I'm still trying even though i know I'm dying
