[Verse 1]

Frowning faces

Worry lines

As you tell me we can't be together

And you say goodbye forever

But I know that you know better

I've just gotta give you some time

Mmhmm



[Verse 2]

Don't you worry

We'll get through

And I know that we can make it happen

Buy a ticket to Manhattan

Meet me at the metro station

Baby, I'll be waiting for you

Mmhmm



[Chorus]

This city's gonna break your heart

This moment's gonna run away

And the love you've known

All the ways you've grown

Are gonna change, gonna fade, gonna be replaced

But baby as for me, I'm here to stay

Mmhmm



[Verse 3]

New apartment

Wedding vows

Darling, everything is always changing

Gotta do some rearranging

But we keep our fire burning

And we never let it go out

No we don't



[Chorus]

This city's gonna break your heart

This moment's gonna run away

And the love you've known

All the ways you've grown

Are gonna change, gonna fade, gonna be replaced

But baby as for me, I'm here to stay

Mmhmm



[Verse 3]

Say you love me

I love you

And baby, every day you've got me flying

Even after all this time and

I can't keep myself from smiling

'Cause I get to smile with you

Mmhmm



[Chorus]

This city's gonna break your heart

This moment's gonna run away

And the love you've known

All the ways you've grown

Are gonna change, gonna fade, gonna be replaced

This city's gonna steal your soul

Your color's gonna turn to gray

And the life you've known

All the dreams you hold

Are gonna change, gonna fade, gonna be replaced

But baby as for me

Baby as for me

Baby as for me

I'm here to stay

Mmhmm

I'm here to stay
