It was cold outside So I thought I'd get away To the one place Where I'd be warm Spent my last few dollars on a ticket to fly Oh, I'mma take a jet plane To carry me straight to your arms And when the wheels touched down I called for you Said, 'Baby I'm here all for you" And you let me know That you were with her It made me wonder, baby are we still in love And then I thought to myself Maybe we never were And I've only got myself to blame For painting these skies with your name And it's a crying shame cause The city ain't the same without you, babe The streets where we walked hand in hand Sharing our dreams making our plans And no one understands cause The city ain't the same without you, babe And I was waiting for your invitation Thinking maybe you would send one You coulda left me in any town Ooh, any town but this one And now that you're gone away It feels like what we had wasn't real at all Missing your heartbeat while the city sleeps away And I've only got myself to blame For painting these skies with your name And it's a crying shame cause The city ain't the same without you, babe I'll kiss the wind and breathe your air And all this loneliness I'll bear But it seems so unfair cause The city ain't the same without you, babe La la la la la la, letting you go....letting you go..... The city ain't the same without you, babe [x2] Spent my last few dollars on a ticket to fly Oh, I'mma take a jet plane To carry me straight to your arms
