This song stems from a conversation I had one day. My brother-in-law was talking about his Dad, who had recently been widowed, and how he still had all the money that he and his wife had saved throughout their lives, but now he had no one to share it with. Sad, but true. I guess the message is to enjoy it while you can.

Here’s the weather report
Chilly and gray
Leaves full of colors
You like it that way
Don’t worry darling,
This old coat is still warm
But the colors are fading
And the sleeves are all worn

And oh, the kids called
With some good news today
Found work in the city
They’re moving away
Don’t worry darling
They’ll visit us soon
As soon as they’re settled
In April, maybe June

Oh, My love
Remember the plans that we made
I still have the pennies you saved
Just for a day like today
I still
Keep all the dreams that we had
Right here in my hands
I’ll bring them to you
As soon as I can

Let’s talk like we used to
Of England and Rome
Of how, when we’re older
We’ll be on our own
Don’t worry I won’t get carried away
It’s just that I love to imagine us living that way

I brought you some flowers
I’ll set them down here
And hope that the wind
Doesn’t carry them far
Don’t worry darling
I’ll come again soon
The mornings get colder now
So I’ll come in the afternoon
