Lyrics:
[verse 1]
Ain't it somethin' to see the leaves change in September
And they become the prettiest colors you've ever seen
But as I sit here lonely I remember
When we changed our colors, but we never went back to green
The cold crept in when you slept on that sofa
And that next cold mornin' I woke up all alone
That bitter wind shook a few more from the branches
And it didn't stop blowin until all the leaves were gone
[bridge]
The sun ain’t shown its face since the last leaf hit the ground
And since that day it's been winter all year round
When I look outside my window, it's still snowin in the spring
Because we changed our colors but we never went back to green
[instrumental break]
[verse 2]
When Christmas came we sat down at that table
And we pretended everything would be ok
But we both knew that we would be unable
To change our colors back before next May
[bridge]
The gray clouds haven’t left  here since the last leaf blew away
And it’s been winter ever since that day
When I look outside my window, it's still snowin' in the spring
Because we changed our colors but never went back to green
When I look outside my window, it's still the saddest thing I've seen
All 'cause we changed our colors but never went back to green
