Columbus & 89th

I've been told That you don't know what you've got 'Til it's gone That you'll recognize the real thing when it Comes along And you can only see as far as the crow flies And sometimes love leaves you tongue-tied And once in a while, the stars will align At the corner of Columbus and 89th I recall Staying out with you 'til sunrise Hit the Hudson Without a thought for what had passed And what was coming Back then I never thought I'd leave But I can only see as far as the crow flies And sometimes love leaves me tongue-tied And once in a while, the stars will align At the corner of Columbus So give my regards to Broadway And tell her that I'm in a good place I can still see the streetlights shining in the night At the corner of Columbus and 89th And 89th
