new york is lovely in the wintertime all the sidewalks are white as snow the buildings all the people that pass me by oh the smile on his face says he s in love i took the train all the way to brooklyn heights i remember when you took it there with me we sat side by side and held hands for some time we saluted the statue of liberty and i i have much farther to go everything is new and so unpredictable i should just kick my hands together and go home but i m not sure where that is anymore oh how i wish i could go back in time to the night when i heard my mother cry she held me in her arms and we talked for some time and i sang a song her mother sang to her it was something about paper dolls and what it meant before something about the cross and how her jesus died for her something about love and how it was worth fighting for i wonder does love like that exist anymore and i i have much farther to go i m so confused i should just kick my hands together and go home but i lost my way when i lost you sometimes i cry when it s late at night and you re not there to lay next to me morning breaks and the sun warms my face how i wish it was you warming me
