New York (BBC Radio 2 Live Version)

The days were long and the nights so cold

The pages turn and the tale unfolds

He left me for another lady

She stood so tall and she never slept

The was not one moment he could regret

He left me for another lady

He took my hand one day and told me

He was leaving

Me disbelieving

And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

Had to let him go

Her name was New York, New York

And she took his heart away oh my

Her name was New York, New York

She had poisoned his sweet mind

Mmmm

The wolves they howled for my lost soul

I fell down a deep black hole

He left me for another lady

She poured the drinks and she poured the power

Diamond girl who could talk for hours

He left me for another lady

Now I am on my own

He told me he was leaving

And I was pleading

And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

Had to let him go

Her name was New York, New York

And she took his heart away oh my

Her name was New York, New York

She had poisoned his sweet mind

The greatest times

I don't wanna hear it

Your new laughter lines

I don't wanna hear it

The new found friends she introduced you to

I don't wanna know them I just want to be with you

Please don't make me go to...

New York, New York

She took your heart away oh my

Her name was New York, New York

She poisoned your sweet mind

She poisoned your sweet mind.
