Leaving on a Jet Plane...


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
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
All sigh for exotic lands

But it's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain

Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park

But It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

In New York
