LYRICS:
Once in your life
you'll find him Someone
who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
you're closing down the town
Wake up and he's still with you
Even though you left him away cross town
You're wondering to yourself,
"hey what have I found"
When you get caught between the moon and New York city I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
is fall in love
Arthur he does, what he pleases
Followed his life, his masters toys
And deep in his heart,
he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a real good time
He's laughing about the way they wanting to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York city I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York city I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The Best that you can do
The Best that you can do
