Anytime you want
Anytime you feel this way
You can show me the way to you

Build the bridge
Over the chasm of suspense
Light the candle in this labyrinth
Of hope for the only chance
Don't make me wait
I've got to know
Oh is it me you're living for
'Cause I want to give you
My heart of green 

Anytime you want
Anytime you feel this way
Like you're flying high above
To the heart of the hearts
You'll find someday
That you're showing me
The way to you


Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood 

Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood. 

I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line 

I'm in a New York state of mind. 



I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines, 

Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens, 

But I know what I'M needing and I don't want to waste more time 

I'm in a New York state of mind. 



It was so easy living day by day 

Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues, 

But now I need a little give and take, 

The New York Times, the Daily News... 



It comes down to reality 

and it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide, 

Don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside, 

I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind 

I'm in a New York state of mind. 



I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line- 

'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind.
