You can have Manhattan, I know it's for the bestI'll gather up the avenues and leave them on your doorstepAnd I'll tiptoe away so you won't have to say you heard me leaveYou can have Manhattan, I know it's for the bestThe bustle in the buildings, the weather in the fallAnd I'll buy out a place to save you some spaceFor somebody newYou can have ManhattanCause I can't help youI knowYou can have ManhattanThe one we used to shareThe one where we would laugh and laughAnd then drunk on just being thereHang on to the reverieCould you do that for me?Cause I'm just too sad toYou can have ManhattanCause I can't help youAnd so it goesOne foot after the otherTill black and white begin to color inAnd I knowThat holding us in placeIs simply fearOf what's already changedYou can have ManhattanI will settle for the beachAnd sunsetAnd sunsetFacing westward with sand beneath my feetI wish there's a wayThat's missing the daysWhen I was one half of twoYou can have ManhattanCause I can't have you*
