That's how fall feels to me...a sweet, happy sadness
Sweet happy sadness
The grief in adieu
Is simply the trade-off
Of loving you
Sweet, happy sadness
Bronze-auburn lament
Is simply the echo
Of summer spent
Sweet, happy sadness
Each leaf is a tear
Caught for a moment
On autumnal cheer
Sweet, happy sadness
To love is to hurt
Laughter and sorrow
Dwell in the same dirt
Sweet, happy sadness
Fond, fond farewell dance
Fall is the flip-side
Of summer romance

There is definitely a certain sadness and a feeling of melancholy to autumn.
