Love in Herald Square


They are plain as day Hand in hand Under the shadow of Greeley In Herald Square Arms locked A white, winter flurry blowing Red noses Red pea coat Red blush Red passions In Herald Square Passing the window displays Where She eyes the gleaming stones And dreams of her own Which sits in his pocket Hidden until evening In Herald Square A blur of warm yellow Against a blank, swirling background Lights twinkling for the holidays In Herald Square A dream A reality A promise In Herald Square Music drifts Snow drifts Eyes drift to one another In Herald Square Glove in glove Along Broadway near sundown The motley lines drawn out of the theatres And into the icy streets A man with a trumpet A woman with a shopping bag A child with a doll And a boy and a girl in love In Herald Square
