When you get caught between the Moon and New York City

Tomorrow I am flying home to my favourite place on earth....I'm looking forward to long solitary walks in Central Park, gazing at the swans and overarching cherry blossom trees, indulging in existentialist rumination or just enjoying the beauty, day dreaming, content to just be....and not thinking much at all...

New York is exactly as is shown in Sex & The City and Breakfast At Tiffany's...every bit as exciting, thrilling and glamorous; Saks Fifth Avenue, Times Square, all glass and neon interspersed with regal old buildings,....and yet there is nature and so much romance too.....horses trotting on the busy streets...the Empire State Building and imageries from An Affair To Remember.  

I have always been in love with Manhattan, ever since I was a wee child watching in awe a documentary on NYC. The first time I set foot here many years back with my mom, reality matched that childhood fantasy. Been back to Gotham many times since, and it just never gets old. It was at the very top of my list of places I wanted to spend forever in. It still is....

There's this old song that really epitomises how I feel about NYC.....it's hopelessly romantic...  

Arthur's Theme

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 mastered choice

Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy

Living his life one day at a time

And showing himself a really good time

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
