The days were long and the nights so cold
The pages turned and the tale unfolds
He left me for another lady
She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not one moment he could regret
He left me for another lady
He took my hand one day and told me
he was leaving Me disbelieving and I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I had to let him go
Her name was New York,
New York And she took his heart away from mine
Her name was New York,
New York
She had poison here sweet in mind
I don't wanna hear it Your new laughter lines
I don't wanna hear it The newfound friend she introduced you to
I don't wanna know them I just wanna be with you
Please don't make me go to New York, New York
New York,
New York And she took his heart away from mine
Her name was New York,
New York
She had poison here sweet in mind
Please don't let her poison your sweet mind
