"I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City" - Harry Nilsson (1969)

I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the lord must be in New York City

I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein' my prayers going unanswered
I guess the lord must be in New York City

Well here I am Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free
In New York City

I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the lord must be in New York City

I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein' my prayers going unanswered
I guess the lord must be in New York City

Well here I am Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free
In New York City

Well, Pete, it looks like that little innocuous Chick Flick did you some good the same way it did me some good. I saw it on a plane a few years ago and it included a version of the song "Dream" by Roy Orbison. I'd never heard Roy do that song before, and it caused me to go out searching for some more obscure Roy songs - and it brought my appreciation of Roys vocal range and talent to a new level.

So - thank you - You've Got Mail.

I know a lot of people who were introduced to it from You've Got Mail, and I'm happy to see the tune get some recognition.
