Autumn in New York

Ella Fitzgerald sang it perfectly,

"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"

"Autumn in New York, the gleaming rooftops at sundown
Oh, autumn in New York, it lifts you up when you run down"

"Yes, jaded roués, and gay divorcés
Who lunch at the Ritz
Will tell you that it's divine"

"This autumn in New York, transforms the slums into Mayfair
Oh, autumn in New York, you'll need no castles in Spain"

"Yes, lovers that bless the dark, on the benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York. It's good to live it again"
