My New York girl, br So sweet and kind, br I cannot keep you br From my mind. br br You came to me br Near every night, br And stayed with me br Till morning light. br br Through silent words br I heard your voice br And pursed lips br Kissed sweet and moist, br br You made me laugh br You made me cry br You made me smile br You made me sigh. br br You made me strong br You made me weak br You made me bold br You made me meek. br br You made me hope br You made me feel br You made me love br You seemed so real. br br But every night br We could not touch br I needed warmth br You craved it much. br br So then one night br Like none before br You turned away br And came no more. br br The New York dawns br Are cold and grey br And daylight... br Washes dreams away.
