Here are the lyrics (written in 1949 by American songwriter Johnny Mercer)
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Their tone and the instruments are all different. One is more classical and another one is more jazz. Is actually quite touching. We could feel that. One has differnt melody.
The jazz version is faster then the others ... i like the Eva Cassidy version ..it is soft and nice...and the tempo is around middle...slow and soft...
The song is very romantic. This song is specially for people who is on love. Suitable for them. And most of all , the words has alot of meaning in it and it has a clear words that touches people heart .I like the jazz beat as it has the beat which make me go on the groove . && all the best for people who are in love ! last till eternity !! (:
very boring, like the song will never end like that. not nice to listen, not my type, now all teenagers like modern song, the one sang by king very slow but cassidy is faster and smoother.
the original song is more sorrow than the jazz tune. the beat of jazz tune is faster...
