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 'cross town
You're wondering to yourself
Hey, what've I found?

[Chorus]
When you 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 (best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love

[Verse 2]
Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life, his master's toys
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a pretty good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be

[Chorus (Repeat Until Fade-Out)]
When you 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 (best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love

When you 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 (best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love

When you 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 (best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love

When you caught between the moon and New York City

Desmond “Des” O'Connor (12 January 1932 – 14 November 2020) was an English comedian, singer and television presenter. He recorded a total of 36 albums and had four top-ten UK singles, including the number-one hit single “I Pretend”, which sold over 16 million copies worldwide.

O'Connor entered the show-biz world in the 1950s, and prior to his break on television, he would perform professionally on stages as a singer and a comedian. He was also paid to host variety shows, which set him up for a success when he became a talk-show host a few years later (The Des O'Connor Show, Des O'Connor Tonight, and more).

In 1958, when Buddy Holly toured the UK, Des O'Connor was paid £100 per week to be the show’s compère.
