Leaves from the trees 

Shimmering colors of fall 

Drift softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now 

 

Wind in the woods 

Singing and sighing sweetly 

Blow softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now 

 

Sun sets in clouds 

Bleeding colors across sky 

Fade softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now 

 

Rain from the sky 

Pouring and falling too fast 

Drip softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now 

 

Deer in shadows 

Hiding, silent, listening  

Step softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now 

 

Wolf on the hill 

Hunting, tracking, howling 

Sniff softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now 

 

Harvest moon rise 

Yellow larger closer still 

Shine softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now 

 

Hallows eve night 

Haunting spirits all abound  

Call softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now 

 

Child abed  

Safely snuggled on your bed 

Sleep softly now,  

softly now,  

softly now
