You can have Manhattan I know it’s for the best I’ll gather up the avenues And leave them on your doorstep And I’ll tip toe away So you won’t have to say You heard me leave
You can have Manhattan I know it’s what you want The bustle and the buildings The weather in the fall And I’ll bow out of place To save you some space For somebody new You can have Manhattan I’ll settle for the beach And sunsets facing westward With sand beneath my feet I’ll wish this away.
