Where the Bright Leaves Fall

Testo

[Verse 1] Eric took Haley by the hand that day, Their wedding bands catching the autumn sun. Past the old storefronts, they wandered away, Laughing like two hearts had only begun. [Pre-Chorus] The leaves turned copper, the maples turned gold, A soft breeze danced through the streets they know. He said, “My darling, wherever we go,” She smiled, “Then let’s take it slow.” [Chorus] Eric and Haley, newlyweds in stride, Down Nevada City with the fall at their side. California sunshine, a beautiful day, Two hearts together, with the world out of the way. Oh, hand in hand where the bright leaves fall, Eric and Haley have found it all. [Verse 2] They paused by a fence where the red leaves curled, She tucked one away like a note from the world. He brushed a loose strand from her cheek with a grin, And she laughed, “This is where our forever begins.” [Pre-Chorus] The hills held still beneath the blue, The whole town seemed to smile at two. He said, “My darling, wherever we go,” She smiled, “Then let’s take it slow.” [Chorus] Eric and Haley, newlyweds in stride, Down Nevada City with the fall at their side. California sunshine, a beautiful day, Two hearts together, with the world out of the way. Oh, hand in hand where the bright leaves fall, Eric and Haley have found it all. [Bridge] Years may turn the branches bare, Spring will find new blossoms there. Still they’ll walk, still they’ll choose, Side by side through every view. [Final Chorus] Eric and Haley, newlyweds in stride, Down Nevada City with the fall at their side. California sunshine, a beautiful day, Two hearts together, and love leading the way. Oh, hand in hand where the bright leaves fall, Eric and Haley have found it all. [Outro] The last leaves drift as they wander on, Two rings, one road, and a day to hold.
