Well midnight has faded to morning   The city can't keep you with me   'Cause this is an island of vagabonds   A stop on the way to be free      But this is the wrong time for metaphors   You like my one-liners best   So take the Queensboro Bridge to the airport   I'll stay and settle for less      Well sweet baby Jesus is watching you   From his bed at the big corner church   And he knows the highs that you took me to   'Cause he knows the way that it hurts      But this is the wrong time for saying prayers   A kiss at the taxi will do   And if the Queensboro Bridge never gets you there   I'll be here waiting for you      You're a beautiful sight over east river lights   And I'm losing you   You're a dream taking flight in a pink morning sky   Yeah you're coming true      And this is the wrong time for saying prayers   A kiss at the taxi will do   But if the Queensboro Bridge never gets you there   I'll be here waiting for you      Yeah if the Queensboro Bridge never gets you there   I'll still be waiting for you
