Since we can no
longer make it girl
I found a new place
to live my life
It's really no
place at all
Just a hole in the wall
you see
It's cold and dusty
but I let it be
Livin here without you
On Second Avenue
And since our stars
took different paths
I guess I won't be
shavin in your
looking glass
Guess my old
friendly grin
Must have started
to dim somehow
And I certainly
don't need it now
Still I keep
smiling through
On Second Avenue
I can still see
you standing
There on the
third-floor landing
The day you visited
we hardly said a word
Outside it was rainin
You said you
couldn't be stayin
And you went back
to your flowers
and your birds
Since we can no
longer see the light
The way we did when
we kissed that night
Then all the things
that we felt
Must eventually
melt and fade
Like the frost on
my window pane
Where I wrote I Am You
On Second Avenue
