I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City Lyrics

Artist: Harry Nilsson

I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the lord must be in New York City

I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein' my prayers going unanswered
I guess the lord must be in New York City

Well here I am Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free
In New York City

I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the lord must be in New York City

I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein' my prayers going unanswered
I guess the lord must be in New York City

Well here I am Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free
In New York City

What a largely unknown talent Mr. Nilsson was, huh?

He was quite popular for awhile. Two Grammies, several top ten songs, #51 on New York Post 100 Best Cover Songs of All Time for "Everybody's Talking". Died young (51); not it fantastic shape the last couple years.

quando sono triste, mi consola;quando sono allegra mi fa piangere.
I guess the Lord must be in Rome too.
