Lyrics: Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)

Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)
Christopher Cross

Once in your life you'll find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closing down the town

Wake up and she's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
You're wondering to yourself
Hey what've I found

Chorus:
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does what he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart
He's just he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a really good time
He's laughing about the way
They want him to be

Repeat Chorus

Happy Birthday Mr. Christopher Cross!
