Christmas In New YorkThat Christmas in New York, Mayflower HotelWhen we first got together I didn't know you well With popcorn and paper, we trimmed us a tree That Christmas in New York, it was just you and me Oh, what a night Oh, what a day That Christmas in LA, the Santa Ana wind Drunk and disordered was the shape we'd gotten in Eat, drink and be merry, tomorrow you'll cry When it's Christmas in LA, let sleeping dogs lie On through the night On through the day The thing that I could never quite put my finger on Before we both got started it was already gone Was it something in our nature, kept us looking for the worst? Only three feet from the well and we'd both rather die of thirst There's one thing I can count on but never understand The way that I remember you I'd do it all again In spite of burned out bridges that we can't get back across There's something at the heart of what we had I've never lost It's Christmas in New York, and wouldn't you know? The Gramercy Park Hotel neither had a foot of snow It's your kind of weather that time of year It's Christmas in New York and I wish you were here Just for one night Just for one day Just for one night Just for one day Just for one night Just for one day Just for one night Just for one day |
