The last leaf
clings to the bough
Just one leaf
that's all there is now
And my last hope
lives with that lonely leaf
lonely leaf
with the last leaf
that clings to the bough
Last summer
beneath this tree
my love said
she'd come back to me
Before the leaves of autumn
touched the ground
touched the ground
my love promised
she'd be homeward bound
Then one by one
the leaves began to fall
and now that winter's come
to call
The last leaf
clings to the bough
Just one leaf
that's all there is now
Will my last hope
fall with that lonely leaf
lonely leaf
with the last leaf
the last leaf
with the last leaf
that clings to the bough
bough
bough
bough
