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
