The Song Autumn Leaves

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

The film's stars were Joan Crawford and Cliff Robertson. This is the story of an older woman and younger man that involves mental illness. Apparently, the title was changed to Autumn Leaves to capitalize on the success of the song with the same name. Nat King Cole's version was used in the movie.
