A young couple walked in a nearby park
Talking about the love they had found
And stopping to rest beneath the trees
They spread a blanket upon the ground
Colorful leaves in shades of pure gold
Were seen floating in the morning sun
No other beauty could even compare
As signs of the fall foliage had begun
Speaking softly of the feelings shared
Between two hearts that were so young
They wondered how long it would last
As lovingly to each other they clung
Laughing they recalled that first night
When the two of them met by chance
As a party was being held for a friend
And shyly he had invited her to dance
By her side so closely he had remained
As his feelings he could not believe
For she had stolen his heart and soul
And he did not want to see her leave
Promising each other to keep in touch
They parted and went separate ways
But in the morning he wanted to call
And they made a date for the next day
Many weeks have passed since that night
And now sitting beneath a tree so tall
They watch as leaves cover the ground
A crisp blanket of gold and red colors fall
As winter will follow the autumn season
Will their great love like it turn cold
Or will it blossom into the springtime
To be the most romantic story ever told
