Lyrics
Unexpected summer showers
We walked in central park for hours
Didn't mind the rain
In love, insane
New York is blue
The city's still
Why aren't you here
Warming summer's chill
On the avenue
Alone in New York blue
From Manhattan
Up to the Cloisters
In Grand Central
Tasting oysters
Didn't have a clue
That New York could get blue
Your one-week vacation
Is one week too much
Just one day without you
I ache for your touch
Boat house cafe
The sky's looking gray
August breaks my heart
We are summertime apart
New York is blue
The day's too long
Summer sings
A sadder, slower song
Ending overdue
Making New York blue
How could you leave me missing you so?
Never thought summer could bring me this low
Warm breezes blowing but I'm feeling so cold
Come back to me, baby
I need you
Need you to hold
New York is blue
The day's too bright
Can't face another
Hot, lonely night
But summer's almost through
So long to New York blue
Bye bye, New York blue
