Verse 1
In the book of my life, there's a chapter of you
A leaf of autumn, in colors so true
Pressed between pages, where time stands still
A beauty that's lifeless, a void to fill
Chorus
A lost love is like an autumn leaf
Pressed between the pages of time
Beautiful but lifeless, a memory in rhyme
So here's to you, Nancy, my eternal prime
Verse 2
We walked down the paths where leaves softly fell
Whispers of the wind, an untold tale to tell
The seasons have changed, but your memory stays
An echo of the past in the golden haze
Chorus
A lost love is like an autumn leaf
Pressed between the pages of time
Beautiful but lifeless, a memory in rhyme
So here's to you, Nancy, my eternal prime
Bridge
Though time moves forward, and years unfold
Your image remains in a story untold
In the quiet of the night, when the world is asleep
I hold onto our leaf, and silently weep
Chorus
A lost love is like an autumn leaf
Pressed between the pages of time
Beautiful but lifeless, a memory in rhyme
So here's to you, Nancy, my eternal prime
Outro
In the pages of forever, where our love is enshrined
An autumn leaf whispers, 'You were always mine'
