You ought to be here by my side
But late one night you suddenly said goodbye
Now you're another man's wife
And 'm high as a kite
I'm drinking and thinking about you.
That night on the Gantes Memorial bridge
We danced to a soft summer wind
A tug boat pierced the night
With our very own spotlight
And we twirled from end to end.
New York City after the snow.
We walked those streets until dawn
Then we hurried back home
To our cozy warm hotel
And when we woke every last snowflake was gone
There's night when I wake from a dream
You're so close I swear I can feel you
I see that wonderful hidden smile
The sparkle in your eyes
But then you fade and I'm alone that's what's real.
That night I said the wrong thing
It was like fire poured on gasoline
I didn't mean it I tried to explain
But yes I'd said it just the same
And you were gone before I could say.
