Lyrics
The days were long and the nights so cold
The pages turn and the tale unfolds
She left me for another man.
She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not a moment that she would regret
She left me for another man.
She took my hand one day and told me she was leaving
Me disbelieving
And I, I had to let her go.
His name was New York, New York.
And he took her heart away from mine.
His name was New York, New York
And he poisoned her sweet mind.
The wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black hole
She left me for another man
She poured the drinks and she poured the power
A diamond girl who could talk for hours
She left me for another man.
Now I am on my own
She told me she was leaving
Now I'm grieving
And I, I had to let her go.
His name was New York, New York
And he took her heart away from mine.
His name was New York, New York,
And he poisoned her sweet mind.
Your new greatest times
I don't wan to hear them
Your new laughter lines
I don't want to hear them
Your new found friends
You've introduced me to
I don't want to know them
I just want to be with you.
Please don't make me go
To New York, New York,
He took her heart away from mine,
His name was New York, New York,
He poisoned her sweet mind.
