By the window on a sunny autumn evening
Breeze is blowing back the curtains, sky is bright
Leaves are dropping, roses going out of season
And although we'll miss the summer, this feels right

Changing seasons give us reasons for rejoicing
Changing times and changing minds give room for growth
Changing spaces sometimes comes with changing weather
Change within and change without, we can do both

In the window all the autumn leaves are dancing
The trees far off and trees close up, they dance as one
Nature gladdened with the spirit of the changing
Take a lesson, give our thanks, when day is done

Changing seasons give us reasons for rejoicing
Changing times and changing minds give room for growth
Changing spaces sometimes comes with changing weather
Change within and change without, we can do both

By the window on a lovely autumn evening
Sun is sinking, small clouds glowing, end of day
Enjoy your life, take in the moments, they are precious
I guess that's all I really want to say

Changing seasons give us reasons for rejoicing
Changing times and changing minds give room for growth
Changing spaces sometimes comes with changing weather
Change within and change without, we can do both
