[Intro]
Shortly after Merrily closed
I was invited to be a part of
A concert and recording at the Whitney Museum
Called A Stephen Sondheim Evening
And I had the great pleasure of debuting this song
[Verse 1]
Once I hated this city
Now it can't get me down
Slushy, humid and gritty
What a pretty town!
What, thought I, could be duller
More depressing, less gay?
Now my favorite color
Is gray!
[Chorus]
A wall of rain as it turns to sleet
The lack of sun on a one-way street
I love the grime all the time
And what more do I need?
My window pane has a lovely view
An inch of sky and a fly or two
Why, I can see half a tree
And what more do I need?
The dusk is thick and it's galling
It simply can't be excused
In winter even the falling snow looks used
My window pane may not give much light
But I see you so the view is bright
If I can love you I'll pay the dirt no heed!
With your love, what more do I need?
