A walk on a perfect day inspired this song.

      Sammie remembers: “While walking with my dog one fine autumn afternoon we chanced to hear geese honking. As their honks grew louder we looked up to see what really was quite a sight: the chevron—a capital V.

      On our walk home I wrote the song. It came easily as I sought for all simple signs of fall falling upon us here in New England. The song works well with preschoolers in particular as they become aware of the seasons, and there are plenty of hand motions to be enjoyed along with it.

      I recorded this song in B; however, it is transcribed in C to make things a bit easier. You can capo it and play it out of the G formation, which is what I do.”

Lyrics

When the leaves turn colors, come falling down
You‟ll know fall‟s falling, falling all around
And the squirrels scurry, scamper up and down
You‟ll know fall‟s falling, falling all around

And the geese fly south in a capital “V”
With their honking and flapping, they‟re a sight to see
And the animal babies are told by their moms
Come get some sleep now, fall‟s falling down

When the garden flowers bow their heads down
You‟ll know fall‟s falling, falling all around
When the school doors open, children running „round
You‟ll know fall‟s falling, falling all around

And the geese fly south in a capital “V”
With their honking and flapping, they‟re a sight to see
And the animal babies are told by their moms
Come get some sleep now, fall‟s falling down
