New York, New York

Or a village in Iowa

The only difference is the name

If you're alone

Whether on Main Street

Or on Broadway

If you're alone

They are both the same

A town's a lonely town

When you pass through

And there is no one waiting there for you

Then it's a lonely town

You wander up and down

The crowds rush by

A million faces pass before your eyes

Still it's a lonely town

Unless there's love

A love that's shining

Like a harbor light

You're lost in the night

Unless there's love

The world's an empty place

And every town's

A lonely town
