Jimmy LaFave - Ellie's Song lyrics

Little Ellie, don't cry Your tears melt in the rain You're a long way from home Feeling the strain Hold onto your heart Hold onto your dreams You know things are never as bad as they seem It's the city Oh the city Hey, baby, you got nothing to lose Big city New York City New York City with the blues Raining down on you Raining down on you Little Ellie, stay close To the things you hold dear Keep the light in your eyes And don't ever fear Everything you desire Is part of a plan I know in time That you'll understand Oh the city New York City Hey, babe, you got nothing to lose Big city Oh the city New York City with the blues Raining down on you Raining down on you Little Ellie, I know That you're gonna survive You got what it takes, baby Keep it alive A moment lasting A vision so true I want you to know I won't forget about you Oh the city In the city Well, babe, you got nothing to lose Big city Big big city New York City with the blues Raining down on you Falling down on you Raining down on you Little Ellie, don't cry Your tears they only melt in the rain
