Autumn Leaves was the Macedonian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna performed by Daniel Kajmakoski. Backing him for his performance were members of Blackstreet, who was best known for their song "No Diggity".
Daniel had won Skopje Fest, the Macedonian national selection, with the Macedonian version called "Lisja Esenski", but it was decided to translate the song into English for the contest.
It was performed 8th in the first semifinal following Estonia and preceding Serbia. At the close of voting, it finished in 15th place with 28 points, failing to qualify for the final for the third year in a row.

Met in the dark of night
You were my lucky strike
Crazy kids with out a clue
Hanging from our knees
Up in the willow trees
Easy like the month of June
A fairy tale gone right
With no ending in sight
Had me tangled up in blue
You said we'd never change
But maybe we do...
Baby this is all we ever used to know
But I can see your colors change to red and gold
Every moment will hurt
From the last to the first
And I'm trying find a way to breathe
Close the book and the chapter
Forever and after
I'm falling like the autumn leaves
My heart is beating like a million drums
Cause you're the ground under my feet
I'm trying to hold on but baby I'm falling free
Like the autumn leaves
Baby this is all we ever used to know
But I can see your colors change to red and gold
Every moment will hurt
From the last to the first
And I'm trying find a way to breathe
Close the book and the chapter
Forever and after
I'm falling like the autumn leaves
My heart is beating like a million drums
Cause you're the ground under my feet
I'm trying to hold on but baby I'm falling free
Like the autumn leaves
