Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful

I wish you were around to see it too

I′m so happy I could cry, why'd you have to go and die like that?

It′s a shame when people ain't around to see

The smiles that they nurture, the laughter they breed

These people don't know me, and I don′t plan on showing what I′ve seen

And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia

She said, "Boy, there ain't no real point in helping ya"

The only thing you′ve ever owned were high hopes and a pocket comb, you fool

So don't act like you know who I am

′Cause the more I'll explain, the less you′ll understand

Them assholes downtown are the only ones around that even try

So look up tonight

The moon, she's shining, and we'll be alright

′Cause she′s still smiling

The city lights'll blow mama′s mind

The more I search, the less I find

But I'm alright

′Cause she's here tonight

Oh, she′s alright

And I still recall the night you're heading home

You were fighting so hard, I knew you couldn't be alone

Your hand in my hand, I knew I had to be a man from that night on

And I′ll tell you all these stories one day

And we′ll laugh like we used to and waste the night away

You'll say, "Boy, how I′ve missed ya," but son, I was with you this whole time

So look up tonight

The moon, she's shining, and we′ll be alright

'Cause she′s still smiling

The city lights'll blow mama's mind

The more I search, the less I find

But I′m alright

′Cause she's here tonight

Oh, she′s alright

She's alright

Oh, she′s alright

The moon in New York tonight was beautiful

I wish you were around to see it too

I'm so down that I could cry, why′d my best friend up and die like that?

Hey, baby, um, I just wanna see what you're doing

I love you, bye-bye
