Autumn in New York
Louis & Ella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 roues and gay divorcees
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
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
The song "Autumn in New York" by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald is an ode to the magical and romantic atmosphere that falls upon the city during the autumn season. The song speaks of the awe-inspiring streets with buildings touching the skies and the way these structures make one feel like home. The autumn festival is inviting, and it is the season of firsts, and that promise of new love is one of the reasons why it's so inviting. The city glows and offers a dazzling view of the world below, like the autumn sun setting on the city's gleaming rooftops.
The song describes the experiences of people living in New York City during autumn. Dreamers with empty hands sigh for exotic lands, while jaded roues and gay divorcees lunch at the Ritz and claim autumn is divine, and the slums become transformed. The song also acknowledges how autumn in New York is often mingled with pain, but the season is perfect for all the strangers who feel alone in the city as they can lose themselves in its energy. As night falls in Central Park, the darkness becomes a backdrop for the lovers who sit on benches, casting a spell, and the song ends by saying how good it is to be in New York during autumn once again.

Magical. Just magical. Miss Fitzgerald had the voice of an angel, and Mr. Armstrong had the voice of we poor mortals here below.
