Autumn Leaves - Eva Cassidy



A friend's blog featured the late Eva Cassidy's 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' from the album Songbird. I'm one of Eva's fans and really appreciate her magical voice that touches my soul everytime I play her recordings. Below is one of my favorite songs from the 1997 live album 'Live @ Blues Alley'

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon Ill hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
