Johnny Mercer
Autumn Leaves / Indian Summer (Live at Sony Studios, New York City, NY - April 1994)
[Live Intro]
You know, if-if I may had left to come back someday
And sing on these songs for you
This has been one of the most wonderful nights
Thanks for being so beautiful, to all of us
Thank you

[Verse 1]
The autumn leaves drift by my window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hand I used to hold
Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

[Verse 2]
Summer, you old Indian Summer
You're the tear that comes after June-time's laughter
You see so many dreams that don't come true
Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new

[Verse 3]
You are here to watch over
Some heart that is broken
By a word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I say
"Farewell to you, Indian Summer"
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

[Live Outro]
Ah, haha
