Johnny Mercer
Early Autumn
[Intro: The Four Freshmen]
And the autumn wind
Brings them to the end
Of a faded summer love

When an early autumn walks the land and chills the breeze
And touches with her hand the summer trees
Perhaps you'll understand what memories I own

There's a dance pavilion in the rain, all shuttered down
A winding country lane, all russet brown
A frosty windowpane shows me a town grown lonely
I'm so alone

[Pre-Chorus: The Four Freshmen]
That dream of ours that started, so April-hearted
Seemed made for just a boy and girl
I never dreamed, did you, any fall could comе in view
So early, early

[Chorus: The Four Freshmen]
So darling, if you carе, please let me know
I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so
Let's never have to share another early autumn
No more tears
Do-do-do-do-do
[Instrumental break: The Four Freshmen]
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Autumn came to soon

[Pre-Chorus: The Four Freshmen]
That dream of ours that started, so April-hearted
Seemed made for just a boy and girl
I never dreamed, did you, any fall could come in view
So early, early

[Chorus: The Four Freshmen]
So darling, if you care, won't you take the time to let me know
I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so
Let's never have to share another early autumn

[Outro: The Four Freshmen}
And the autumn wind
Brings them to the end
Of a faded summer love
