Shadows deepen as daylight fades 
Twinkling stars seem to dance in your eyes
Heartbeats whisper of love's sweet refrain
'Neath the peaceful glow of September skies



Falling leaves rustle in a gentle wind
Autumn moonlight surrounds your sweet face
Feeling as one with nature's beauty
Enveloped in your warm, strong embrace



Night sounds far off in the distance
Lovers stroll in this magical setting 
Storing memories to last us a lifetime
Times we won't soon be forgetting



It's too early in the evening to light the lamps
Yet too dark to see clear and true
But morning will break all fresh and bright
As the sunbeams steal away the dew



Time passes and the present is waning
Slowly, the calendar's pages will turn
Always remembering autumn in the moonlight
For your sweet love, forever to yearn
