“Big Apple Waltz” (song by Sweet, 1979)

“Big Apple Waltz” is a song from the album Cut Above the Rest (1979) by the English glam rock band Sweet. 
 
New York City is referred to, and the chorus is:
 
“I’ve been so long in the city
The city has been so long inside of me
Been so long, it’s a pity, I’m so far away
But I still do The Big Apple Waltz.”
 
   
Wikipedia: Cut Above the Rest
Cut Above the Rest is the seventh studio album by the English glam rock band Sweet, released on Polydor Records in October 1979. It was their first album release following the departure of their original lead vocalist Brian Connolly. Connolly had begun recording this album with the band at the TownHouse Studio in Shepherd’s Bush, London, but his vocals were subsequently wiped and replaced by vocals from bass player Steve Priest and guitarist Andy Scott.

From the “Cut Above The Rest” album and with Steve Priest taking lead vocal is this ballad “Big Apple Waltz” released as the follow up to “Call Me” in 1979 with little or no marketing behind it.  Shame because it was a nice song and would probably have done better with some advertising and airplay.

Big Apple Waltz by Sweet is one of the most perfect songs ever written.
