New York Without You

It's hard to tell you this
 Because I didn't get
 To say goodbye
 Something about you that
 Made me laugh inside
 Don't ask me why
 But New York without you
 Just isn't New York
 Walking up Bleecker Street
 I'd see that 313 and 315
 You'd just opened the Gallery
 Said it would be good for me
 And you were right
 But New York without you
 Just isn't quite New York
 New York without you
 When I crossed the Bowery
 I'd see the Chrysler beam
 Past Union Square
 If you could make it there, they say
 You'd make it anywhere
 If life was fair...
 But New York without you
 Just isn't New York
 And when the tides were low
 You'd be there for me
 And when the going got tough
 You'd get tough on me
 If I was silent you'd have a word with me or two
 You'd say "go on, don't mind, all the world will see"
 New York without you
 Just isn't New York
 Ah-ah-ah-ah
 Just isn't New York
 Something about you that
 No one figured out
 Maybe that's why
 New York without...
