Oh Baby do not be frightened
it is only the autumn wind
blowing the leaves around us
before winter finally sets in again
Oh Baby your mommy has you
and will keep you safe and warm
I would not let anything harm you
and soon we will be home
The autumn can be beautiful
some days are filled with great fun
we can walk among the leaves
hearing the rustle when we run
Oh Baby the autumn wind is blowing
but soon we will be home as I said
I will bathe you and I will feed you
then I'll tuck you safely in bed

Oh, this is so very sweet! And it reminds me of holding little Strauss and he didn't like the wind or rain on his face when he was little, he would snuggle right in!
