Lyrics

You write the kind of letters I could never throw away
Words that have the power to change my quality of day
You talk about the city - how it's not all it seems
You divulge your secrets, your ambitious life-long dreams

You're perfect in New York - the apple of my eye
You're perfect in New York

Maybe I'm too far away to see your hidden flaws
Maybe I'm not close enough to knowing you at all
But I have tried to give up, I have tried to retreat
All the thoughts I have of you are ones I can't defeat

You're perfect in New York - the apple of my eye
You're perfect in New York and faultless in my mind
What I wouldn't give to have you near
But would you be perfect here?

With miles and miles between us
How will I ever know
What could be, how you feel,
or where it all would go

You're perfect in New York - the apple of my eye
You're perfect in New York and faultless in my mind
What I wouldn't give to have you near
But would you be perfect here?
