it was cold outside so i thought i'd get away
to the one place
where i'd be warm
spend my last few dollars on a ticket to fly
oh i'ma take a jet plane, to carry me straight to your arms
and when the wheels touch down i'll call for you
so baby i'm here all for you
and you'll let me know
that you have heard
and made me wonder baby i'm still in love
and then i thought to myself, maybe we never were
and i've only got myself to blame
but baby these skies with your name
and it's a crying shame 'cause this city aint the same without you babe
the streets where we walked hand in hand
sharing our dreams making our plans
but no one understands 'cause this city aint the same without you babe
and i was waiting for your invitation
thinking maybe you would send one
you could have left me at any town
any town but this one
but now that you've gone away
it feels like what we had wasn't real at all
listen to your heart beat while the city sleeps away
and i've only got myself to blame
but baby these skies with your name
and it's a crying shame 'cause this city aint the same without you babe
i'll kiss the wind and breathe your air
and all this loneliness i'll bear
but it seems so unfair because this city aint the same without you babe
... letting you go, letting you go
this city aint the same without you babe
... letting you go, letting you go
this city aint the same without you babe
spend my last few dollars on a ticket to fly
gonna take a jet plane, to carry me straight to your arms
