New York Without You Lyrics

It's hard to tell you this
Because I didn't get
To say goodbye
Something about you that
Made me laugh inside
Don't ask me why

But New York without you
Just isn't New York

Walking up Bleecker Street
I'd see that 313 and 315
You'd just opened the Gallery
Said it would be good for me
And you were right

But New York without you
Just isn't quite New York
New York without you

When I crossed the Bowery
I'd see the Chrysler beam
Past Union Square

If you could make it there, they say
You'd make it anywhere
If life was fair

But New York without you
Just isn't New York

And when the tides were low
You'd be there for me
And when the going got tough
You'd get tough on me

If I was silent you'd have a word with me or two
You'd say "go on, don't mind, all the world will see"

New York without you
Just isn't New York
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Just isn't New York

Something about you that
No one figured out
Maybe that's why
New York without
