"Autumn in New York" — Vernon Duke's autumnal meditation on the city.
Writer(s): duke
Autumn in new york
Why does it seem so exciting (inviting)
Autumn in new york
It spells the thrill of first-knighting
Shimmering clouds - glimmering crowds (glittering crowds and shimmering clouds)
In canyons of steel
Theyre making me feel - Im home
Its autumn in new york
That brings a (the) promise of new love
Autumn in new york
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
(they) all sigh for exotic lands
(but) its autumn in new york
Its good to live it again
This autumn in new york
Transforms the slums into mayfair
Autumn in new york
Youll need no castles in spain
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in central park
(but) its autumn in new york
Its good to live it again
(- in new york)
Знаете ли вы, что...
- Written by Vernon Duke in 1934. The song that made autumn in New York a romantic rather than melancholy season — the glittering crowds, the fading summers. Sinatra's Capitol recordings gave the city's autumn light an almost painful beauty.
