Because of all these things
I got to know
What winter time is like
in New York
I came last spring now
I’m remembering
The loveliness of wanting
all these things
I was right on time to catch
the Hudson River line
Every stop along the way
was new
But the spring became the fall
You were distant when I called
And by wintertime I wondered if our love was through
With those big brown eyes so sensitive and wise
It’s no surprise I fell in love with you so soon
Now I try to run away
but my heart just won’t obey
And on every street I wander I want you

Because of all these things
I got to know
What wintertime is like
in New York
I try to run away
but my heart just won’t obey
Because of you me
and all these things
