New Orleans Function

作曲 : Vernon Duke

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 Rogues and Gay Divorces

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

[03:49.23]

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
