Lyrics

You can have Manhattan
 I know it's for the best
 I'll gather up the avenues and leave them on your doorstep
 And I'll tip toe away, so you won't have to say
 You heard me leave
 ♪
 You can have Manhattan
 I know it's what you want
 The bustle and the buildings
 The weather in the fall
 And I'll bow out of place
 To save you some space
 For somebody new
 You can have Manhattan
 'Cause I can't have you
 ♪
 Aah, aah, aah
 ♪
 You can have Manhattan
 The one we used to share
 The one where we were laughing and drunk on just being there
 Hang on to the reverie, could you do that for me?
 'Cause I'm just too sad to
 You can have Manhattan
 'Cause I can't have you
 ♪
 And so it goes, one foot after the other
 'Till black and white begin to color in
 And I know
 That holding us in place is simply fear of what's already changed
 ♪
 Aah, aah, ah
 ♪
 You can have Manhattan
 I'll settle for the beach
 And sunsets facing westward with sand beneath my feet
 I'll wish this away
 Just missing the days when I was one half of two
 You can have Manhattan
 'Cause I can't have you
