Letra

Once in your life you find her

Someone that turns your heart around And next thing you know you're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you Even though you left her way across town Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've 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 as he pleases All of his life, he's master's choice 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 really good time He's laughing about the way they want him to be

All of his life, he's master's choice 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 really good time He's laughing about the way they want him 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 is fall in love.[3]
