"Autumn Serenade" is a lovely ode to a fall love affair, composed by Peter De Rose and Sammy Gallop in 1945 and first recorded that very year by Hal McIntyre, followed by the Modernaires. However, it has since been made most famous by Johnny Hartman when he recorded it years later with John Coltrane. If you like smoky, this is the tune for you.
lyrics
Through the trees
Comes Autumn with her serenade
Melodies
The sweetest music ever played
Autumn kisses we knew
Are beautiful souvenirs
As I pause to recall
The leaves seem to fall like tears
Silver stars
Were clinging to an Autumn sky
Love was ours
Until October wandered by
Let the years come and go
I'll still feel the glow
That time cannot fade
When I hear
That lovely Autumn serenade
