New York winter Traffic squeals The city feels...so old Late December taxi ride Then run inside it's cold Got your letters Monday I think or Tuesday I lose track Since then I've been thinking of you And I've been looking back to London Can you believe it's so many years since London Hitching a ride and carrying knapsacks London In the park by the Thames Drinking tea London Sitting in pubs and living in walk-ups London Learnin' the accent learnin' to love you London We were young we were sure We were... free Was it really ages Ago the memories Never fade Can you hear Big Ben where you are
And are you glad you stayed in London Dodging the rain with broken umbrellas London Readind the Times on Saturday picnics London Counting stars 'till the stars All were gone London So many plans and nothing but time in London Nothing to fear 'cause nothing could last in London We grew close we grew scared I moved on Oh London What were we scared of Why did I run from London Part of me still has Never come back from London Is it fair that I miss You so much Take good care all my love Keep in touch New York winter taxi ride Then run inside it's cold
