[00:06.34]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.
