A letra:
Once in your
life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next
thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's
still with you
Even though you left her way 'cross town
Wondering
to yourself, "Hey! What've I found?"
When you get
caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but
it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The
best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in
love
Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life, his
master's toys
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living
his life one day at a time
And showing himself a pretty good
time
Laughing about the way they want him to be
When you
get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy,
but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York
City
The best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The
best that you can do
Is fall in love
When you get caught
between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's
true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The
best that you can do (The best that you can do)
The best that you
can do
Is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon
and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get
caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
(The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in
love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I
know it's crazy, but it's true
