I'm alone, what a pity
I will be soon in New York City
When I see you, please permite me
To tell you everything in New York City
All our talks, so profound and whitty
When we were stoned back in New York City
I am worried you're still pretty
The way that you were back in New York City
I haven't gathered up a committee
It'll just be you and me in New York City
And I wrote you this little ditty
To sing to you in New York City
In New York City
We're not young but we're sure not old
I heard about death but I'm not sold
I've got a few tales up my sleeves that ain't been told
Lord help me please
I am guilty, please acquit me
All sins are forgiven in New York City
And this old man, he must admit he
Fell in love with you in New York City
In New York City
I don't wanna leave you
And I'm afraid to need you
Gotta keep the wolves at bay
Everytime I see you
I forget to breathe, you
Steal my heart and lungs away
Will you stay here or come with me
Or will we cease to be outside New York City
Will you stay here or come with me
Or will we cease to be outside New York City
The real question
It just hit me
And I in love you
Or just New York City
