New York, New York Or a village in Iowa The only difference is the name If you're alone Whether on Main Street Or on Broadway If you're alone They are both the same A town's a lonely town When you pass through And there is no one waiting there for you Then it's a lonely town You wander up and down The crowds rush by A million faces pass before your eyes Still it's a lonely town Unless there's love A love that's shining Like a harbor light You're lost in the night Unless there's love The world's an empty place And every town's A lonely town
