my wish


te extraño y
extraño tu silencio
¿dónde estás?
here goes my wish:
you and me in Manhattan
my dream... weekend getaway
will I ever be with you?

Summer journeys to Niag'ra
and to other places aggra-vate all our cares.
We'll save our fares!

I've a cozy little flat
in what is known as old Manhattan
we'll settle down
right here in town!
We'll have Manhattanthe Bronx and Staten Island too.
It's lovely going throughthe zoo!
It's very fancyon old Delancystreet you know.
The subway charms us so
when balmy breezes blow
to and fro.
And tell me what street compares with Mott Streetin July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.
The great big city's a wonderous toy
just made for a girl and boy.

We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy!
We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the whiles
And starve together dear, in Chiles
We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close, some day
The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattaninto an isle of joy!
