I Love New York

(album: Sunday Afternoon - 2010)

We didn't catch a play on Broadway
Missed the Statue of Liberty too
We didn't see no Yankees game
Or shop Madison Avenue
We didn't take a walk on Wall Street
Or a carriage ride through Central Park
But when I think of that big old city
It puts a smile on my heart

It could've been Boston or Atlanta
It could've been Vancouver
We never left the hotel room
So it didn't really matter
Well I fell in love that weekend
Do not disturb on the door
You're the only thing I remember
Baby, I love New York

You laughed when you opened the curtains
And saw a brick wall in front of you
Me I was staring at your body
Thinking my god what a view
We heard the TV in the next room
The sirens from the street below
But I heard a voice inside me saying

It could've been Boston or Atlanta
It could've been Vancouver
We never left the hotel room
So it really didn't matter
I fell in love that weekend
Do not disturb on the door
You're the only thing I remember
Baby, I love New York

Well I used wonder as the years went by
If she ever thought about it
And if you were to ask me then
I'd say I doubt it
Last week I got a Times Square postcard
For some reason it came unsigned
She's the only one in this world
That could've written these lines

It could've been Boston or Atlanta
It could've been Vancouver
We never left the hotel room
So it didn't really matter
Well I fell in love that weekend
Do not disturb on the door
You're the only thing I remember
Baby I love New York
