Autumn Leaves
Feel free for a multiple imagination of poesia – with eyes, with thoughts, with music!

Maybe start with John Kosma’s song in an instrumental version of the great Ahmad Jamal at Palais des Congrès Paris 2017: Autumn Leaves (11:50 min, Youtube-Video, ads are placed before)
- Ahmad Jamal, piano

Words
Keep in mind the words of the song, based on a poem of Jacques Prévert, English lyrics by Johnny Mercer (1947)
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 winter’s song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I’ll hear
Old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
