"Coffee In New York" lyrics

You don't know me
You don't owe me anything
But still I'd like
I'd like to get to know you
If someone told me
That I'd be on these streets again
After all
The pain this town has caused me

Here in the square, when you were there
I was half a world away
Now it appears we are here
On the very same day, so

Why don't we, meet up
For coffee in New York
In the springtime, could be right time
With a million stars above
Why don't we, meet up
For coffee in New York
On the final page, I'll sign my name
And one more thing
Why don't we fall in love?

Every writer
Breathes their characters to life
But only dream
They get the chance to meet up
But in your words you
Spoke as only she could do
Saw into my soul
Cold alone and beat up

Here on this train, it's you again
And you are staring straight at me
Did we forget, haven't we met
In the very same way? So...

Why don't we, meet up
For coffee in New York
In the springtime, could be right time
With a million stars above
Why don't we, meet up
For coffee in New York
On the final page, I'll sign my name
And one more thing
Why don't we fall in love?

The stars over Brooklyn are clear tonight
And surprised this old bookworm is holding tight
To this New York night

How many lives, do we survive
Rinse and repeat the same old rhyme
If only I knew, it would be you
Calling out through time, singing

Why don't we, meet up
For coffee in New York
In the springtime, could be right time
With a million stars above
Why don't we, meet up
For coffee in New York
On the final page, I'll sign my name
And one more thing
Why don't we fall in love?
