If I could borrow one singer's voice to sing one song just once in my life, that singer would be Johnny Hartman. The song would be Autumn Serenade. And my band would be The John Coltrane Quartet.
It Never Entered My Mind that Sammy Davis, Jr. would vibe an intro for
Johnny Hartman
Lush Life
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 can not fade
When I hear that lovely
autumn serenade.
