[00:04.03] | New York City |
[00:06.05] | |
[00:09.03] | She came to me shortly after Christmas, |
[00:14.92] | Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve. |
[00:21.35] | But the truth doesn't wait to come in season |
[00:27.21] | And what we had feared was now believed |
[00:33.15] | She said she'd leave come Monday morning, |
[00:39.55] | Catch a plane if I'd split the fair. |
[00:45.30] | She had friends who lived in New York City. |
[00:51.58] | She'd look them up and have the baby there. |
[00:57.66] | And now she's alone in New York City, |
[01:03.93] | Living like… Lord, I wonder how. |
[01:09.70] | An angel in hell in New York City, |
[01:16.10] | But I can't think about that now. |
[01:25.27] | Honey, will you tell him Bible stories |
[01:31.40] | And give him all the love I never could? |
[01:37.18] | And never tell him too much about his daddy |
[01:43.56] | 'Cause there's not too much to say that's good. |
[01:49.62] | He'll have to learn it all from his mother: |
[01:55.92] | How to count and say his ABC's. |
[02:01.64] | But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime, |
[02:08.09] | Leave off "God bless Daddy," won't you please? |
[02:13.79] | And now they're alone in New York City, |
[02:20.19] | Living like Lord… I wonder how. |
[02:26.28] | Two angels in hell in New York City, |
[00:04.03] | New York City |
[00:06.05] | |
