Autumn In New York Vernon Duke (1934), Frank Sinatra (1958)

Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
 
    Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel
    They’re making me feel   I’m home

 
It’s autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
 
    Dreamers with empty hands
    They sigh for exotic lands 


It’s autumn in New York
It’s good to live it again

 
<instrumental>
 
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York
You’ll need no castles in Spain
 
    Lovers that bless the dark
    On benches in Central Park 


It’s autumn in New York
It’s good to live it again
