big noise new york

since you left me

darling

the city doesn't feel right

on the street the music stopped

and the lights seemed half as bright

without your love

this old town's no fun at all

without your love

i only hear the loudest voices

the ones with something new to sell

and now it's all

big talk

big name

big noise

new york

walked from the river

to west broadway

every stranger spoke your name

every sign read yesterday

without your love

this old town's no fun at all

without your love

i only see the drifting shadows

of the losers and the lost

and now it's all

big talk

big name

big noise

new york

there was a time

when the night was just for dancing

till the sun rose over the skyline

but now you're gone

and the fear of winter grows

just a place where the money flows

where there never was a springtime

another season begins fast and loud

it's supposed to be a party

but to me it's just a crowd

without your love

this old town's no fun at all

without your love

i'm left with all the memories darling

of words i thought were true

but it was all

big talk

big name

big noise

new york

but it was all

big talk

big name

big noise

new york
