Lyrics:

Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way (NYC) Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album The Captain And The Kid I remember it like it was yesterday Snow in the park and skaters on the ice Long black cars standing side-by-side Loading up the boys at night Turned up our collars to the chill of the wind Caught an innocent smile from a taxi at the lights Not something you'd see on a New York street It's such an uncommon sight chorus: But I wouldn't have it any other way This city's got a thing about it Don't try to understand it New York City I'd really like to stay New York City I wouldn't have you I wouldn't have you any other way Oh the subway rumbled underneath Italian lights where Joey Gallo died And the man on the door down at Fifty Four's Is letting only the pretty inside I'd wake with a stranger under the covers Late in the day and longing for the night Just like the snowfall there's so many bodies But somehow it feels so right [repeat chorus] And I can feel the magic And read a million lips And no matter what might happen They'll never sink this ship [repeat chorus] ) 2006
