"Autumn Leaves" is a popular song and jazz standard composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945 with original lyrics by Jacques Prévert in French (original French title: "Les Feuilles mortes"), and later by Johnny Mercer in English. An instrumental version by pianist Roger Williams was a number one best-seller in the US Billboard charts of 1955.
[Verse 1] The falling leaves drift by my window The autumn leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold [Chorus] Since you went away, the days grow long And soon I'll hear old winter's song [Verse 2] But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall [Chorus] [Verse 3] But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves start to fall
