“Autumn in New York” (1934)
"Autumn in New York" (1934) by Vernon Duke was written for the musical Thumbs Up. It is a wistful, nostalgic song.

The song has been recorded by Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald. Try to listen to all three versions before deciding on a favorite.

Copyright restrictions prevent reproducing the full lyrics here, but they do appear on other web sites.
