Why, oh why am I left here
To cry and cry a thousand tears
It was all so clear
I thought we'd had it made
But you left me standing all alone
A million miles away from home
Underneath this old oak tree in the shade

Chorus:
Leaves change colors and blow away in time
But I thought that you would always be mine
They say that love's supposed to stay
But why did our love turn to gray?
Leaves change colors and blow away

We were walking hand in hand
You wrote I love you in the sand
I never thought about it
When the waves came crashing in
It looked so beautiful to me
But there was something I didn't see
Where something ends, something new begins again

Repeat Chorus

Oh yeah
How my heart was shot down
My world was turned around
It's something that I will never forget

So why, oh why am I left here
Will our love ever reappear
Underneath this old oak tree in the shade

Repeat Chorus

Leaves change colors and blow away
Mmm…
Blow away
