Why, oh why am I left here To cry and cry a thousand tears It was all so clear I thought we'd had it made But you left me standing all alone A million miles away from home Underneath this old oak tree in the shade Chorus: Leaves change colors and blow away in time But I thought that you would always be mine They say that love's supposed to stay But why did our love turn to gray? Leaves change colors and blow away We were walking hand in hand You wrote I love you in the sand I never thought about it When the waves came crashing in It looked so beautiful to me But there was something I didn't see Where something ends, something new begins again Repeat Chorus Oh yeah How my heart was shot down My world was turned around It's something that I will never forget So why, oh why am I left here Will our love ever reappear Underneath this old oak tree in the shade Repeat Chorus Leaves change colors and blow away Mmm… Blow away
