A Day in the City

Come with me down to Manhattan There's an exhibit I want to go see By an artist I'd not before heard of 'Til you introduced him to me Now this show is just of his landscapes Still it's one not to be missed So I don't expect we would see it The painting that he named "The Kiss" I'll take you to lunch, we'll have coffee Watch people outside on the street Stop at a mom and pop bakery I may even have something sweet I promise I won't try to swoon you, I won't try to take hold of your hand I can't say I won't steal some glances That'd be more than my eyes could stand It would be such a treat if you could I believe if you could that you would I think if you would it'd be good And if it'd be good then you should Out for a day in the city That's something that I'd like to do But alone, by myself? what a pity It wouldn't be fun without you
