A BLOSSOM IN SPRINGTIME , A LEAF IN THE FALL

A blossom in springtime ,
A leaf in the fall .
Yes , these are the treasures
I like most of all .

But though these are treasures
I so like to see .
There's nothing more precious
Than you are to me .

For nothing is softer
Than your gentle skin .
The leaves and the blossoms
Just cannot contend .

Your hair is more golden
Than any fall day .
And your cheeks are redder
Than blossoms in May .

But mainly the reason
I hold you so dear .
Your beauty is present
At all times of year .

A blossom in springtime ,
A leaf in the fall .
Yes , you are the one dear
I like most of all .
