She looked my way and smiled at me
Then I crawled along on the ballroom floor
Just to take another look for sure
A few months in we danced, we sinned
and we even know what the future holds
It didn't take long, she got a good job
and down the road she goes
But New York stole my babe away,
I'll be fine but I think I'll stay
She is so sweet the honey bees would hang around for days
and then I start to write her song,
when I turned around she's gone
Sometimes we have to make sacrifices and sing along
In my sleep, your eyes I see
Now both of us can chase our dreams
There's nothing left to do but stop and sing
Riding in the subway seems,
like it surely ain't the thing for me
I tried my best, tried to ride along
caught every stop between
But New York stole my babe away,
I'll be fine but I think I'll stay
She is so sweet the honey bees would hang around for days
and then I start to write her song,
when I turned around she's gone
Sometimes we have to make sacrifices and sing along
