Bobby Short - Autumn in New York lyrics

It's time to end my lonely holiday And bid the country a hasty farewell So on this gray and melancholy day I'll move to a Manhattan Hotel I'll dispense with my rose-colored chattels And prepare for my share of adventures and battles Here on the twenty-seventh floor Looking down at the city I hate and adore Autumn in New York Why does it seem so inviting? Autumn in New York It brings the thrill of first-nighting Where glittering crowds and shimmering clouds In canyons of steel Are making me feel I'm home It's autumn in New York It brings a promise of new love Autumn in New York Is often mingled with pain Dreamers with empty hand May sigh for exotic land It's autumn in New York It's great to live again Where [Incomprehensible] roulettes And Incomprehensible] Who lunch at the Ritz Will tell you that it's divine Its autumn in New York Transforms the slums into Mayfair Autumn in New York You'll need no castle in Spain Lovers who bless the dark From benches in Central Park Greet autumn in New York It's great to live it again
