All The Way To New York City - Rosie Thomas

I wish I could take you with me

All the way to New York City

And we can get an apartment there

Be closer to our families

We can take my station wagon

Fill it to the brim

And wave goodbye to all our lovely friends

Never to return again

You could write for picture shows

And I could get a job

Waiting tables at a restaurant

Where famous people like to go

We could buy old overcoats

And walk through the snow

All the way around Central Park

Our cheeks as pink as wild roses

We could take the subway home

And stare at our reflections

In the window panes of the trains

And see how much New York has changed us
