When October meets November, leaves are falling fast,
Only one thing I remember dreaming of the past.

Oh! The Red Maple Leaves
Were falling on the day I found you,
How I wished my arms around you,
Like the Red Maple Leaves.

Now my heart ever grieves,
But thro' my tears they bring me pleasure.

Oh! If I'd one kiss to treasure
With the Red Maple Leaves.
We gathered leaves to press them
As lovers sometimes do.
You're gone, but I caress them,
They're all I have of you -

Just the Red Maple Leaves.
And when they come again, you'll find me
Where I left my heart behind me
'Mid the Red Maple Leaves.
