(David Ball/Allen Shamblin)

You disappear a day or so
I have no idea where you go

Then out of the blue you cross my mind
It's me and you just like old times
Walking in the autumn breeze
An kicking up the falling leaves
I close my eyes an you're right here
Saying this is my favorite time of year

Whenever you come back to me
I run to meet your memory
And let it take me back to yesterday
Down a country road that winds
Through golden leaves and better times
To a place where my heart longs to be
Whenever you come back to me

Even though I know you're gone
I read your name written on the stone
In my dreams there's a river wide
Where we walk side by side
We leave footprints in the sand
You let go of my hand
At the waters edge you turn and smile
And say,"I'll see you in a little while"

Whenever you come back to me
I run to meet your memory
And let it take me back to yesterday
Down a country road that winds
Through golden leaves and better times
To a place where my heart longs to be
Whenever you come back to me

Oh,whenever you come back to me
