Now that she`s so far away from her dear old hills of Donegal
I wonder does she ever think of me at all
On that wet Monday I drove her down to Shannon
We drank brandy and kissed in the airport hall
She said she`d be definitely home for Christmas
But since then not even a word - not even a phone call
Now some of the boys said she`s gone a little bit crazy
Said they`ve seen her hangin` round the Bronx
Runnin` with a rough crowd
I wonder does she ever think of me at all
`Cause I`ve got no intention of hangin` round this dump forever
Wonderin` about whether she`ll love me or leave me
Or is about to deceive me
So if you see her, you tell from me....
You better sleep tight in New York City
Now you`ve got a different angel watchin` over you
And you know I tried to ring you but your phone is always busy
And I don`t think I`m ever gonna get through again to you
So in the meantime,
Dream on in New York City
Now you`ve got a different angel watchin` over you.....
She`ll be steppin` out down Bainbridge Avenue
Goin` down to the Village Pub on her nightly crawl
I wonder does she ever think of me at all
Just one more Amaretto for fortification
Then it`s `good night you good people one and all
I`ve got a girlfriend, I`ve got to go see her over on Broadway`
Who does she think she`s foolin` at all, at all
`Cause her dark angel waits on the corner
With his silver pills and his Spanish charms
Just one more moment`s hesitation
Before she falls into his arms
Now anyone else would go over there and rescue her
And drag her back to her dear old Donegal
But she`s left all that so far behind her
So, if you see her, you tell her from me
You better sleep tight in New York City
Now you`ve got a different angel watchin` over you
And you know I tried to ring you but your phone is always busy
And I don`t think I`m ever gonna get through again to you
So in the meantime,
Dream on in New York City
Now you`ve got a different angel watchin` over you.....
