Frank Sinatra - Autumn Leaves (PAPERCUT MEET THE VOICE MIX)

Originally it was a 1945 French song, “fr:Les feuilles mortes“ (literally “The Dead Leaves“), with music by Hungarian-French composer Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert. The Hungarian title is “Hulló levelek“ (Falling Leaves). Yves Montand (with Irène Joachim) introduced “Les feuilles mortes“ in the film Les Portes de la nuit (1946). The American songwriter Johnny Mercer wrote English lyrics in 1947, and Jo Stafford was among the first to perform this version. “Autumn Leaves“ became a pop standard and a jazz standard in both languages, both as an instrumental and with a singer. Frank Sinatra included a popular version of the song on his album Where Are You? (1956). LYRICS: The falling leaves Drift by my window The falling leaves Of red and gold I see your lips The summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away The days grow long And soon I’ll hear Old
