[00:09.21]Since we can no longer make it, girl,
[00:13.24]I found a new place to live my life.
[00:17.88]It's really no place at all,
[00:20.34]Just a hole in the wall, you see.
[00:24.27]It's cold and dusty but I let it be,
[00:28.95]Livin' here without you,
[00:32.72]On Second Avenue.
[00:39.37]And since our stars took different paths,
[00:42.85]I guess I won't be shavin' in your looking glass.
[00:47.43]Guess my old friendly grin,
[00:50.15]Must have started to dim, somehow,
[00:54.22]And I certainly don't need it now,
[00:58.60]Still, I keep smiling through,
[01:02.72]On Second Avenue.
[02:37.40][01:09.41]I can still see you standing
[02:41.39][01:13.13]There on the third-floor landing.
[02:45.96][01:17.57]The day you visited we hardly said a word.
[02:54.45][01:26.43]Outside it was rainin',
[02:58.52][01:30.30]You said you couldn't be stayin,
[03:01.81][01:33.63]And you went back to your flowers and your birds.
[03:11.16][01:42.97]Since we can no longer see the light
[03:15.69][01:47.41]The way we did when we kissed that night,
[03:20.02][01:51.74]Then all the things that we felt,
[03:22.23][01:54.01]Must eventually melt and fade,
[03:26.15][01:58.04]Like the frost on my window pane
[03:30.49][02:02.56]Where I wrote, "I am You,"
[03:34.87][02:06.54]On Second Avenue.
