The days were long and the nights so cold
the _1_ turned and the _2_ unfolds
He'd left me for another lady.
She stood so tall and she never slept
There was not one moment he could _3_
He'd left me for another lady
He took my hand one day and told me he was leaving, me _4_ 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 _5_
mmm.. The wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black _6_, He'd left me for another lady
she poured the _7_ and she poured the power
A _8_ girl who could talk for hours
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 _9_ lines
I don't wanna hear it, the new found friends she introduced you to
I don't wanna know them I just wanna be with you..
Please don't make me go to New York, New York, and she took your heart away oh my, her name was New York, New York, She poisoned your sweet mind. she poisoned your sweet mind.
