Autumn in New York

It's time to end my lonely holiday

And bid the country a hasty farewell

So on this grey and melancholy day

I'll move to a Manhattan hotel

I'll dispose of my rose-colored chattels

And prepare for my share of adventures and battles

Here on the twenty-seventh floor

Looking down on the city I hate and adore

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

Autumn in New York

It brings the promise of new love

Oh autumn in New York

Is often mingled with pain

Lovers that bless the dark

On benches in Central Park

It's autumn in New York

It's good to live it again
