Was it Washington Square

Or the way you wore you hair?

Was it central park

Or kissing after dark?

Guess I'll never know

Not sure I even care

But my heart will always live

With you and me there



But I can't afford to live in New York City

Ahahahah

And she can't afford to leave

Ahahah

Was it the Sea Port in June

Or your face by the moon?

Was it Soho's charm

Or you and I arm in arm?

Was it the 6 train uptown

Or true love that I found?

It all blends into one

When I think of you now



But I can't afford to live in New York City

Ahahahah

And she can't afford to leave

Ahahah



Well I know that a promise is to keep

But money's tight and I've been losing sleep

Old Man Circumstance will have his way

It's true

But what I wouldn't give to stay here with you



And I can't afford to live in New York City

Ahahahah

And she can't afford to leave

Ahahah



And I've never been good with good-byes

But good-byes are all I have
