When we first settled in here so many years ago
First frost came in early, we barely beat the snow
We put by feed and firewood, it was twenty-five degrees
We were young and startin' out, quite a team just you and me

When the day was over, we'd walk back home through the trees
Every word and every laugh was a white cloud on the breeze
Frosty grass snapped underfoot, but you were there with me
Settin sun through the pecan grove, put a little silver in the leaves

Silver in the leaves, silver in the leaves
We worked side by side, built up something strong and free
Our love was not a flower, but a tall and spreading tree
We weren't rich but we had love
And just a little silver in the leaves

I woke up this morning, you were outta bed
You sat by your mirror and you seemed a trifle sad
When I said "Good morning love" you turned in your chair
Sayin' you should do some things about your face and hair

You and I both know the years are gonna have their way
When it comes to how you look I've got one thing to say
When I run my fingers through your hair it isn't grey I see
It's autumn sun through the pecan groves puttin' silver in the leaves

Silver in the leaves, silver in the leaves
We worked side by side, built up something strong and free
Our love was not a flower, but a tall and spreading tree
We weren't rich but we had love
And just a little silver in the leaves

Silver in the leaves, silver in the leaves
We worked side by side, built up something strong and free
Our love was not a flower, but a tall and spreading tree
With roots set deep in solid ground
And just a little silver in the leaves
