The Last Leaf

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
