Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first nighting
[Verse 2]
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel I'm home
[Verse 3]
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
[Verse 4]
Dreamers with empty hands
May sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
[Verse 5]
Autumn in New York
The gleaming rooftops at sundown
Autumn in New York
It lifts you up when you're let down
[Verse 6]
Jaded roués and gay divorcée
Who lunch at the Ritz
Will tell you that it's divine
[Verse 7]
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York
You'll need no castle in Spain
[Verse 8]
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
