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
[Chorus:] 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 stranger's 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 I'm missing you, Coloured little hearts and stones, Drew a little home sweet home Am I getting through? Am I reaching you?
[Chorus]
All this time and distance Keeps pulling us apart, Baby, all this space between us Keeps tearing at the heart, Keeps tearing at the heart
