[00:16.498]Boy, It's hard to tell you this
[00:23.506]I have to leave it all behind
[00:30.738]boy, I can't ignore it
[00:36.673]I miss New York with my heart
[00:38.727]with my body and my restless mind
[00:46.600]The yellow cab that's picking up and passing by
[00:50.264]The morning coffee at the corner
[00:52.582]A little bit overpriced
[00:53.959]The shiny S.U.V. that's cruising through the lights
[00:57.427]Enchanting views from excruciating heights
[01:01.177]The sound of laughter from the roof deck next to mine
[01:04.928]The jeep I drove that always used to get a fine
[01:08.507]The tiny restaurant where we all met for brunch
[01:11.805]Drinking Bloody Marys all the way to lunch
[01:14.992]I am sorry, I never meant to leave you
[01:22.050]But every day when I'm away is such a pity
[01:29.091]I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you
[01:36.748]But I never thought I would fall in love with a city
[01:44.902]Central Park when all the leaves are turning brown
[01:48.498]The wheel of fortune always spinning 'round and 'round
[01:52.075]The ups and downs, the flips around, the New York fashion
[01:55.744]Miss Statue of Liberty is full of passion
[01:59.379]Remember Jaco crossing Hudson River naked
[02:03.065]A New York Minute, it's impossible to fake it
[02:06.705]and stuff like this goes on every single day
[02:09.861]If not right on your block, just a few away
[02:13.125]I am sorry, I never meant to leave you
[02:20.264]But every day when I'm away is such a pity
[02:27.301]I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you
[02:34.918]But I never thought I would fall in love with a city
[02:42.692]Living in the middle
[02:45.966]of where dreams are coming ture
[02:49.754]When love becomes a riddle
[02:52.984]there's always something else to do
[02:56.991]the beauty and ambitions
[03:00.412]People reaching out for more
[03:04.543]Minds are always open
[03:07.554]so nothing's ever really like before
[03:12.237]I am sorry, I never meant to leave you
[03:19.344]But every day when I'm away is such a pity
[03:26.291]I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you
[03:34.114]But I never thought I would fall in love with a city
[03:41.322]I am sorry, I never meant to leave you
[03:48.467]But every day when I'm away is such a pity
[03:55.393]I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you
[04:03.144]But I never thought I would fall in love with a city

Boy, It's hard to tell you this
I have to leave it all behind
boy, I can't ignore it
I miss New York with my heart
with my body and my restless mind
The yellow cab that's picking up and passing by
The morning coffee at the corner
A little bit overpriced
The shiny S.U.V. that's cruising through the lights
Enchanting views from excruciating heights
The sound of laughter from the roof deck next to mine
The jeep I drove that always used to get a fine
The tiny restaurant where we all met for brunch
Drinking Bloody Marys all the way to lunch
I am sorry, I never meant to leave you
But every day when I'm away is such a pity
I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you
But I never thought I would fall in love with a city
Central Park when all the leaves are turning brown
The wheel of fortune always spinning 'round and 'round
The ups and downs, the flips around, the New York fashion
Miss Statue of Liberty is full of passion
Remember Jaco crossing Hudson River naked
A New York Minute, it's impossible to fake it

If not right on your block, just a few away
I am sorry, I never meant to leave you
But every day when I'm away is such a pity
I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you

Minds are always open
so nothing's ever really like before

But every day when I'm away is such a pity
I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you
But I never thought I would fall in love with a city
I am sorry, I never meant to leave you
But every day when I'm away is such a pity
I am sorry, I never meant to hurt you
But I never thought I would fall in love with a city
