We walked up Greenwich Avenue, 4 o’clock
Towards January setting sun
We'd done nothing we came to do, so we just talked
About the things we might have done

As time went by
We held each others’ hands across the avenue and sighed

We talked about the things we’d do if you lived close
We could see each other every day
We looked into each other’s eyes as I proposed
That I would try to find a way

As time went by
We thought about our future on the avenue, inside

And you asked me if I’d marry you in Jefferson Market Park
And honeymoon with the stars
One day, in Jefferson Market Park

We’d get a small apartment in the neighborhood
An extra bedroom just in case
We’d winter, spring, and fall on Greenwich and for good
And summer at your parents' place

As time went by
We’d tell our kids about the golden afternoon, we cried

But you asked me if I’d marry you in Jefferson Market Park
And honeymoon with the stars
One day, in Jefferson Market Park

But right now while our time is on the second hand
And precious moments tick away

As time goes by
I’ll make a pilgrimage to Greenwich Avenue and sigh

‘cause I probably won't marry you in Jefferson Market Park
No honeymoon with the stars
One day, in Jefferson Market Park
One day, in Jefferson Market Park
One day, in Jefferson Market Park
