i have left my heart in boston and i left my soul in springtime and i ve forgotten how it feels to be in love again and i still miss you somehow i left the world behind me i can t remember how to find me and i ve forgotten how it feels to truly love someone my god i miss you and nobody ever said that it would be this hard just want to go back and walk with you along the charles you never believe how hard this real world thing can be until you see i think i lost my smile in cambridge and my spirit in a snowy haze and i ve forgotten how it feels to be in love with life i really miss you so i ve been around the world by now and i ve seen enough to know that if you truly find your heart somewhere you better take it with you where you go and nobody told me my life would be this way i m watching the years go sailing by just like the days i m thinking how boston seems to be the perfect place to leave my heart i have left my heart in boston i left it right there at the downtown crossing yeah yeah yeah
