Much Farther To Go

New York is lovely in the winter time

All the sidewalks are white as snow

The buildings, all the people that pass me by

How the smile on his face says he's in love

I took the train all the way to Brooklyn Heights

I remember when you took it there with me

We sat side by side and held hands for some time

We saluted the Statue of Liberty

I have much farther to go

Everything is new and so unpredictable

I should just kick my heels together and go home

But I'm not sure where that is anymore

Oh, how I wish I could go back in time

To the night when I heard my mother cry

She held me in her arms and we talked for some time

And I sang a song her mother sang to her and it goes

Something about paper dolls and what men prefer

Something about the cross and how her Jesus died for her

Something about love and how the truth fighting for

I wonder does love like that exist anymore?

And I, I have much farther to go

And I, I'm so confused I know

I should just kick my heels together and go home

But I lost my way when I lost you

Sometimes I cry when it's late at night

And you're not there to lay next to me

Morning breaks and the sun warms my face

How I wish it was you warming me
