ABOUT THIS SONG
Art Garfunkel recorded this beautiful song in 1974 in it's complete form on a 45 rpm, but this version never made it to an album.
Here's a High Quality mix of the CD/Album version and the missing verse from the 45 rpm single version. The 45 rpm version has been equalized to match the quality of the CD.
Enjoy!

LYRICS
"Second Avenue" » Art Garfunkel, written by Tim Moore
Since we can no longer make it girl,
I found a new place to live my life.
It's realy no place at all,
Just a hole in the wall you see.
It's cold and dusty but I let it be.
Livin' here without you on Second Avenue.
And since our stars took different paths,
I guess I won't be shavin' in your looking glass.
Guess my old friendly grin,
Must have stared to dim some how.
And I certainly don't need it now.
Still I keep smiling through, on Second Avenue.
I can still see you standing,
There on the third floor landing.
The day you visited, we hardly said a word.
Outside it was rainin',
You said you couldn't be stayin'.
And you went back to your flowers and your birds.
Since we can no longer see the light,
The way we did when we kissed-that-night.
Then all the things that we felt,
Must eventually melt and fade.
Like the frost on my window pane.
Where I wrote, "I. M. U." (I Miss You),
on Second Avenue.
I can still see you standing,
There on the third floor landing.
The day you visited, we hardly said a word.
Outside it was rainin',
You said you couldn't be stayin'.
And you went back to your flowers and your birds.
Since we can no longer see the light,
The way we did when we kissed that night.
Then all the things that we felt,
Must eventually melt and fade.
Like the frost on my window pane.
Where I wrote, "I. M. U." (I Miss You),
on Second Avenue!
