Tender as a tear upon your face Or an orange red and gold November eve Shining through the streetlamps like a note Only God would leave Soothing as a baby's lullaby The avenue's all bathed and made new Like when I stop and close my eyes To think, of you It's raining in New York I wish I could be there To see my friend To take a walk To taste the sweetened air Before today is gone Why ever would we wait? For perfect never found When right now was all around It's raining in New York Sad, because I can't be there with you I mouth your name and suddenly I'm there Looking out your window at the world That we can share Friends we are Friends we'll always be The one thing that I always, always knew That it would be so sweet If everyone could have a you It's raining in New York Let's bundle up tonight Our weathered love you gave to me And your love course where mine We'll see what we can see Just like we loved to do Then we'll come back home And make this night our own It's raining in New York
