Oh, it won't be long, you will grow strong up, up and away
Oh darling, the seasons are your friend
Just how to love again
And death by crying doesn't exist, oh
Tears on your pillow will dry and you will learn
This is the first of a million broken hearts
Though the headaches feel a bit like it
Oh, it won't be long, you will grow strong up, up and away
Oh darling, the seasons are your friend
Yeah, he's but a falling leaf
I've been around for broken hearts and how
And death by anger this is true, oh
Oh little girl, this is such a cruel, cruel world
Just how to love again
You might explode but you reach the end of the road
Oh my weeping willow, let your leaves fall and return
Oh my weeping willow, let your leaves fall and return
And you little tree, I'm certain you will grow
Oh, he's but a falling leaf
Oh, it won't be long, you will grow strong up, up and away
Lay your head in my hands little girl, this is only right now
Oh, it won't be long, you will grow strong up, up and away
Oh, it won't be long, you will grow strong up, up and away
Oh, it won't be long, you will grow strong up, up and away
Just let him go, he can't hurt you, oh
Tears on your pillow will dry and you will learn
Oh, it won't be long, you will grow strong up, up and away
Oh, it won't be long, you will grow strong up, up and away
He's but a falling leaf, he's but a falling leaf
