Is It Raining In New York City

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, hello Mary Anne, how have you been? This is me your one-time lover Who said he didn't need a friend I just happened to think about you Thought I'd call you on the phone By the way, is there someone with you I was hopin' you'd be alone [Chorus] 'Cause I have tried to find The words that I could say to you But they all have the sound of A song that's out of tune I have tried a hundred times to find my way to you But the reasons they always came too late The rhyme it left too soon All I can say is my world without you Is not what it appeared And is it rainin' in Nеw York City like it's rainin' here [Verse 2] That voicе in the background Is it someone I should know If it's anyone who remembers me Be sure to say hello And how's your old friend Laura And that guy she used to see It was written all over his face back then That he wished he could be me [Chorus] 'Cause I have tried to find The words that I could say to you But they all have the sound of A song that's out of tune I have tried a hundred times to find my way to you But the reasons they always came too late The rhyme it left too soon All I can say is my world without you Is not what it appeared And is it rainin' in New York City like it's rainin' here [Bridge] I put in the dime and I thought that The time could be erased somehow But the silence I hear Is makin' it clear Oh, I'm gettin' the picture now I get it now [Chorus] 'Cause I have tried to find The words that I could say to you But they all have the sound of A song that's out of tune I have tried a hundred times to find my way to you But the reasons they always came too late The rhyme it left too soon All I can say is my world without you Is not what it appeared And is it rainin' in New York City like it's rainin' here
