Seemed fitting to listen to this tonight...being that it is now Autumn and the leaves are at their most beautiful. The cold crisp air blowing, while the train is whistling nearby and the smoke from fireplaces fill the air with the essence of Autumn itself....this song reminds me of all that...and YOU :-) Love you...always
another Summer has come and gone...and now it is the first day that I feel the Autumn arrive...with its cool breezes and falling leaves....and it always brings me back to this song. <3
