LYRICS
Once in your life you'll find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closin' down the town
Wake up and she's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
You're wonderin' to yourself
Hey what've I found
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
Livin' his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a really good time
He's laughin' about the way
They want him to be
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
ABOUT CHRISTOPHER CROSS
Christopher Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1979 self-titled debut album produced by Michael Omartian. The lead single “Ride Like The Wind” spent 4 weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was quickly followed up by Cross’ most popular single to date (and first #1 hit) “Sailing”, which later became known as the archetype for the Yacht Rock genre. In 1981, Cross became the first artist in Grammy history to win the “Big Four” most prestigious awards in a single night; Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also “Sailing”), and Best New Artist. Later that year Cross released “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer, Peter Allen, and was the title-theme for the 1981 film “Arthur” starring Dudley Moorre and Liza Minnelli. The song earned Cross his second #1 and the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 1981 Academy Awards. Cross’ sophomore album “Another Page” was released in 1983 and featured the singles “Think of Laura” and “All Right”. Cross has sold over 10M albums worldwide and his songs have been covered and sampled by NSYNC, Puff Daddy, Avant, Shirley Bassey, Dione Warwick, and many more.

The first time I ever took a girl to the movies it was to see "Arthur". Now, more than 40 years later, I still always think back to that day whenever I hear this song and wonder where she is now. It's a little overwhelming to think back on all of the people who were so important to us at various points in our lives, but now exist only in memory.

@@TheKonga88Are you sure? I've just Googled and found a different account. Of course I don't know if that's true either!: According to Peter Allen, he came up with the line when his plane got stuck in a holding pattern waiting to land at JFK airport in New York. In 2012, Songfacts heard from the flight attendant Susan Lina, who said, "Peter Allen was on my flight and when he was deplaning he said to me, 'You have inspired me to write a song, and you will know it when you hear it.' I believe this was the song, because we were in a holding pattern for JFK. I have been a flight attendant now for 34 years. This was back in the early '80s when I was only 21 or 22 years old. I did not know who he was until he was deplaning the aircraft. He was right, I did know the moment I heard the verse, when you get caught between the moon and New York City, because it was at night and we were in a holding pattern to land at JFK. I remember it so clearly."

Sorry for your loss. My mom was also a Scorpio (Nov 5) and passed at 58. But this was 19 years ago for me

He was a wonderful jazz and classical pianist. I loved it when he played piano in the movies he was in. Also, he did a great guest appearance at the Hollywood Bowl in an all-Gershwin concert. His segments are wonderful. It's on YT.

Listening 5th March, 2024. I have never seen this clip - what a joy to watch! Loved the film, but CC voice is blissful. Had the opportunity to see him a few years ago in the, UK - still sounds great. Dudley Moores face smiling - lovely 🙏 Thank you sharing. Watching from West Wales, UK 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿xx

Not something you see very often. The composer/singer of a movie soundtrack and the star of the movie performing the title track. God Bless Them Both.

I loved these movies when I was a kid, really wonder what could have been had Dudley Moore not passed away. But I guess that could be said of a lot of talented people taken too soon.
