Noel Adams and I spent a year working with the Berlin Philharmoniker* to produce this MeisterWerk based on his libretto "Deciduous Love." Good luck to anyone else who enters the contest.

MEIN BAUM IST UBER ALLES
(English Title: Deciduous Love)

By Sir Noel Adams and Sir David Snyder

[Verse]

Lost and lonely autumn leaves
My only friends tonight
We're tumbling headlong down a road going nowhere
Forgetting once we had a happy life

[Pre-chorus]

All alone, where cold winds blow
Don't we deserve a home?

[Chorus]

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
But where does it go
when summer is done?

[Verse]

I remember back in springtime
The new beginnings were good
Then summer shone and love grew strong as days got longer
I was invincible and self-assured

[Pre-chorus]

But seasons changed, blue turned grey
Then came autumn's blade

[Chorus]

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Leaves when summer is done

[Bridge]

Maybe one day
I'm hoping one day
Summer will never go away

Finale:

Mein Baum ist über alles
Mein Baum ist immer grün!
Mein Baum ist über alles
Das ist nicht Deciduous!!

Mein Baum ist über alles
Mein Baum ist immer grün!
Mein Baum ist über alles
Das ist nicht Deciduous!!
