Les feuilles mortes (literally, The Dead Leaves) is  a song with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by Jacques Prévert. Many famous singers have interpreted it, and under the name Autumn Leaves it became a jazz standard.

You may enjoy the versions by Yves Montand and by Chet Baker and Paul Desmond and their band.
