lyrics

Be Kind

Be kind, be kind.
The leaves fall so quickly to the ground without a sound.
Be kind, be kind.
She was the first one to flower and first to fall.

Gentle face smiling from the mantelpiece
A flicker of memories from another life another place:
Scraped knees, climbing up apples trees
Fireworks fizzing to the ground
Misty mornings on the way to school
Weekend trips to the swimming pool
Warm salt breeze on a summer stay
The family outing to another wedding day.

The children will keep on playing,
The people still catch the bus to work.
Even the sweetest memories slowly fade,
I really wish you could have stayed.

Be kind, be kind.
The leaves fall so quickly to the ground without a sound.
Be kind, be kind.
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
