From the recording Bitter Sweet

Lyrics

Bitter Sweet

We walked east on west 11th street
Along Kips Bay toward Murray Hill
And all the way she held on tight to me
In a way that I remember still


By Central Park we walked on tired feet.
With autumn leaves there came a chill
We grabbed a cab and went on home to eat
That’s were she served that bitter pill


That day she told me that she loved me
And how my love made her complete
The way she told me that she loved me
Those words of love came bittersweet


And all next day I held her close to me
Two broken hearts cried like the rain
And there we lay, just had to let it be
With only hope to ease the pain


The way she told me that she loved me
And how my love made her complete
That day she told me that she loved me
Those words of love so bittersweet

In a New York minute, with no time to wait
When darkness calls to seal your fate
And you’re really in it, with eyes wide-awake
And you stand alone at heavens gate

That day she told me that she loved me
And how my love made her complete
The way she told me that she loved me
Her words of love came bittersweet

The way she told me that she loved me
Her words of love so bittersweet
