I remember long ago When the gift of music was mine I remember how i played And the notes flowed from my hands. Now the gift from me is gone Like a tree losing it`s leaves All that`s left is memories - chorus Leaves by the road Now just fading memories Of gifts that once Heaven gave to me In my head i hear the ghosts The ghosts from old melodies They still echo in mi ears Driving me to tears Now i`m old and my limbs are tired I wish i had passed my gift All i ask is one more chance to play - chorus Leaves by the road Now just fading memories Of gifts that once Heaven gave to me
