NYC Baby
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Left my baby in New York City
Oh what a pity, he's in New York City
Cause my arms are empty
And the phone it rings a-plenty
But I'd rather have my baby
Much much closer to me lately
Than he's been
Yeah I'd rather have my baby
Much much closer to me lately
Than he's been.
