chorus
Leaves are fallin', it's September
The night came in and made her shiver
I told her she could have my jacket
Wrapped it tight around her shoulders
And I was so young 'til she kissed me
Like a whiskey, like a whiskey
verse
I never knew that love was blind
'Til I was hers, but she was never mine
But I let it burn, I let it burn, yeah
The feelin', it was bittersweet
Realizin' I was in too deep
I had to learn, I had to learn, yeah
chorus
Leaves are fallin' in September
The night came in and made her shiver
I told her she could have my jacket
Wrapped it tight around her shoulders
And I was so young 'til she kissed me
Like a whiskey, like a whiskey
verse
Would've left this world behind
Just to wake up by your side
Every mornin', I would've sold my soul for a lil' more time, hmm
Would've waited a thousand nights
If she never said goodbye
I admit that I would've sold my soul for a little more time
chorus
Leaves are fallin', it's September
The night came in and made her shiver
I told her she could have my jacket
Wrapped it tight around her shoulders
And I was so young 'til she kissed me
Like a whiskey, like a whiskey
verse
I ain't like the other Cognacs
Or the type of cat that'd never call back
Or lose contact when you runnin' out of rum, and you make a run
(Feel light and dizzy, might be tipsy)
verse
All of that tequila's a killer, little vodka
Break her off somethin' proper
Pop a cork and play spin the bottle
(Every time you kiss me, like some whiskey)
verse
Punch drunk love, it's a fine line
Dom Pérignon, she the fine wine
Someone call 911, I'm runnin' out of time
She done got off on my heart
chorus
Leaves are fallin', it's September (whoa)
The night came in and made her shiver
I told her she could have my jacket
Wrapped it tight around her shoulders
And I was so young (so young)
'Til she kissed me (yeah)
