One By One

One by one, the teardrops fall as I write you

One by one, the leaves come falling on the page

One by one, my hopes are vanished in the twilight

One by one, my schemes are fading fast awayOne by one, the flowers fading in my garden

One by one, the leaves are falling from the trees

One by one, my hopes have vanished in the clouds, dear

One by one, like snowflakes melting in the breezeOne by one, my hair is turning gray

One by one, my dreams are fading fast away

One by one, oh, I read your letters over

One by one, I lay them all awayOne by one, the days are slipping up behind you

One by one, the sweetest days of life go by

One by one, the moments stealing out behind you

One by one, she'll come and find out you or I
