Autumn's Child Lyrics
Go back ten years ago sunbeams dancin' round
Go back ten years ago sunbeams dancin' down
Autumn's child Autumn child
Autumn's child got a loophole 'round her finger
Halo rings her head!
Cornhusk hair makes me linger
Her cat's stare meets my dare
A mad stare greets my stare
'Gonna be my wife' she sang she said
Ooh, she's gonna be my wife
'Gonna spice my life' she said
Go back ten years ago sunbeams in her hair
Go back ten years ago sunbeams fill the air
I'll just spin, be nimble
Level down and tremble
Fish pond streak of light
Found the child I had to find
Apple shine share together
Got the time to make her mine
Fish pond streaks, love kind
Found the child I had to find
Autumn's child - I met her at a balloon-bust picnic
Ooh, she caught me with the Beauty Queen!
Her jade-green eyes
Buttons and bows and fancy ties
Her feet of dust under trees of rust
Make them sandals gambol under knees of trust
Gonna be my wife gonna spice my life
Gonna be my wife she sang she said
Gonna be my wife gonna spice my life she said
Go back ten years ago sunbeams shining down
Go back ten years ago sunbeams glancin' round....
Autumn's child...
Go back ten years ago sunbeams dancin' down
Autumn's child Autumn child
Halo rings her head!
Cornhusk hair makes me linger
Her cat's stare meets my dare
A mad stare greets my stare
Ooh, she's gonna be my wife
'Gonna spice my life' she said
Go back ten years ago sunbeams fill the air
Level down and tremble
Fish pond streak of light
Found the child I had to find
Got the time to make her mine
Fish pond streaks, love kind
Found the child I had to find
Ooh, she caught me with the Beauty Queen!
Her jade-green eyes
Buttons and bows and fancy ties
Her feet of dust under trees of rust
Make them sandals gambol under knees of trust
Gonna be my wife she sang she said
Go back ten years ago sunbeams glancin' round....
Autumn's child...

An ambitious acid symphony.
I think it's always "gonna spice my life" coming after "gonna be my wife"
This is yet another Herb Bermann lyric which often gets wrongly credited to Don
