One by One

One by one, the teardrops fall as I write you
One by one, the leaves come falling on the page
One by one, my hopes are vanished in the twilight
One by one, my schemes are fading fast awayOne by one, the flowers fading in my garden
One by one, the leaves are falling from the trees
One by one, my hopes have vanished in the clouds, dear
One by one, like snowflakes melting in the breezeOne by one, my hair is turning gray
One by one, my dreams are fading fast away
One by one, oh, I read your letters over
One by one, I lay them all awayOne by one, the days are slipping up behind you
One by one, the sweetest days of life go by
One by one, the moments stealing out behind you
One by one, she'll come and find out you or I
