I′ve been told

That you don't know what you′ve got til it's gone

That you'll recognize the real thingWhen 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 coming

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

And 89th
