Baby when you read these words
You'll be on a plane somewhere
So high, surfing through the clouds again
In a different atmosphere
So many miles away from here
I just remembered
We never said goodbye

So I wrote you a note
Left it in the pocket of your coat
Reminding you, I'm missing you
Coloured little hearts and stones
Drew a little home sweet home
But you're never here
You're never here

What's the time in New York City?
Does it look like rain again?
Did you get the message that I left for you last night?
What's the time in New York City?
Do you still feel the same again?
It's 4am, I couldn't sleep and I'm missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering
If you think of me at all

The city starts to breath again
Riding on a busy train
Today I caught a strangers smile
Oh she reminded me of you
Things that we forgot to say
Right before you went away
You know it gets a little harder now each time

So I wrote you a note
Left it in the pocket of your coat
Reminding you that I'm still missing you
Coloured little hearts and stones
Drew a little home sweet home
Am I getting through?
Am I reaching you?

What's the time in New York City?
Does it look like rain again?
Did you get the message that I left for you last night?
What's the time in New York City?
Do you still feel the same again?
It's 4am, I couldn't sleep and I'm missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering
If you think of me at all

All this time and distance
Keeps pulling us apart
And, baby, all this space between us
Keeps tearing at the heart
It keeps tearing at the heart

What's the time in New York City?
(What's the time in New York City?)
What's the time in New York City?
Does it look like rain again?
Did you get the message that I left for you last night?
What's the time in New York City?
Do you still feel the same again?
It's 4am I couldn't sleep and I'm missing you tonight
Sitting here wondering
If you think of me at all

What's the time in New York City?
