don’t leave new york city stay and play a song with me you’re so wrapped up in self-pity playing sad songs absentmindedly
when i hear you play piano i hear your minor sevenths muffled through the wall sometimes i sit outside your door and listen in the hall
every day i pass you on the stairway but i never catch your eye i’d love to introduce myself i know your name but i don’t think you know mine
i only know you from a letter the mailman mistakenly returned to me i felt guilty when i read it but i let it get to me
don’t leave new york don’t leave julliard don’t go back to louisiana stay and play piano and i’ll sing and play guitar
insufficient postage caused your christmas card to return the snow smeared the ink on the envelope the return address was too blurry to discern
the mailman had the wrong apartment when he brought it back i couldn’t help but read there’s gotta be a reason that your message came to me
so your boyfriend’s in the navy in every port you know he has a lady friend your southern manners say stay faithful but i know your heart will sail again
new year’s just around the corner december came and christmas went so fast kiss me underneath the fireworks throw away the past
