The falling snow paints Manhattan white now There's Christmas cheer in every traffic light now But my spirit doesn't seem so bright now A lonely Christmas in New York And all the windows seem to shine and glisten The singers sing those songs but, I won't listen Your tender touch is all that I'm missin' A lonely Christmas in New York Walking down 5th Avenue Dreaming and feeling so blue I search the crowd And cry out loud "My darling, where are you?" But there won't be a happy ending How long can I go on pretending? Why should I always be spending? A lonely Christmas in New York ♪ A lonely Christmas in New York In Central Park, I see your smile Whenever I walk in the snow St. Patrick's chimes They just remind me How I miss you so But there won't be a happy ending How long can I go on pretending? Why should I always be spending? A lonely Christmas in New York It's just a lonely Christmas in New York
