New York City Full Lyrics
[00:08.77] She came to me shortly after Christmas
[00:15.15] Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve
[00:20.91] But the truth doesn't wait to come in season
[00:27.07] And what we had feared was now believed
[00:33.02] She said she'd leave come Monday morning
[00:39.59] Catch a plane if I'd split the fair
[00:45.33] She had friends who lived in New York City (New York City)
[00:51.22] She'd look them up and have the baby there
[00:57.07] And now she's alone in New York City (New York City)
[01:03.79] Living like, Lord, I wonder how
[01:09.60] An angel in hell in New York City (New York City)
[01:15.82] But I can't think about that now
[01:20.47]
[01:25.22] Honey, will you tell him Bible stories
[01:31.02] And give him all the love I never could?
[01:37.10] And never tell him too much 'bout his daddy
[01:43.09] 'Cause there's not too much to say that's good
[01:49.16] He'll have to learn it all from his mother
[01:55.56] How to count and say his A-B-C's
[02:01.34] But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime
[02:07.71] Leave off "God bless Daddy," won't you please?
[02:13.37] And now they're alone in New York City (New York City)
[02:19.91] Living like, Lord, I wonder how
[02:25.82] Two angels in hell in New York City (New York City)
[02:32.04] But I can't think about that now
[02:38.34] I can't think about that now
[02:44.01]
