She came to me shortly after Christmas, |
| [00:15.16] |
Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve. |
| [00:20.66] |
But the truth doesn't wait to come in season |
| [00:27.19] |
And what we had feared was now believed |
| [00:33.45] |
She said she'd leave come Monday morning, |
| [00:39.39] |
Catch a plane if I'd split the fair. |
| [00:44.91] |
She had friends who lived in New York City. |
| [00:51.32] |
She'd look them up and have the baby there. |
| [00:57.66] |
And now she's alone in New York City (New York City), |
| [01:03.64] |
Living like ... Lord, I wonder how. |
| [01:09.70] |
An angel in hell in New York City (New York City), |
| [01:15.46] |
But I can't think about that now. |
| [01:25.52] |
Honey, will you tell him Bible stories |
| [01:31.03] |
And give him all the love I never could? |
| [01:36.77] |
And never tell him too much 'bout his daddy |
| [01:43.22] |
'Cause there's not too much to say that's good. |
| [01:49.00] |
He'll have to learn it all from his mother: |
| [01:55.49] |
How to count and say his A-B-C's. |
| [02:01.35] |
But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime, |
| [02:07.65] |
Leave off "God bless Daddy," won't you please? |
| [02:13.47] |
And now they're alone in New York City (New York City), |
| [02:19.52] |
Living like ... Lord, I wonder how. |
| [02:25.72] |
Two angels in hell in New York City (New York City), |
| [02:31.69] |
But I can't think about that now. |
| [02:38.02] |
I can't think about that now. |
| [02:44.02] |
