"Columbus & 89th" lyrics

I've been told
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
That you'll recognize the real thing
When it comes along

And you can only see as far as the crow flies
And sometimes love leaves you tongue tied
And once in a while
The stars will align
At the corner of Columbus and 89th

I recall
Staying out with you til sunrise hit the Hudson
Without a thought for what had passed and what was comin'
Back then I never thought I'd leave

But I can only see as far as the crow flies
And sometimes love leaves me tongue tied
And once in a while the stars will align
At the corner of Columbus
So give my regards to Broadway
And tell her that I'm in a good place
I can still see the street lights shining in the night
At the corner of Columbus and 89th
