Autumn Rendezvous (English Version of "Rendez-vous d'automne")

Autumn Rendezvous (English Version of "Rendez-vous d'automne") - Francoise Hardy

Now the summer days are ending

Leaves are falling red and gold

Now the warmth of love is fading

And the nights are getting cold

From the east the wind is blowing

Now the sky's no longer blue

Overhead the clouds are growing

Summer's gone and so are you

You wanted to be free

Love was just a game to you

And you never meant to be

At this autumn rendezvous

All the happiness life gave me

Changed to emptiness today

Now that you no longer love me

Autumn's come it's here to stay

Life seems empty now without you

It's not easy to forget

I may learn to live without you

But I'll always feel regret

I would cry but it's no good

Tears won't bring you back to me

Though I'd stop you if I could

I can't change what has to be

With the years I'll still remember

And in time the hurt will go

I'll forget this sad September

And be glad I loved you so
