I was down in New York city
I was trying to get back on my feet
I was looking out for someone else to think about
and theres no harm in that
you knock me out on these streets with your beauty
theres only so much I want us to say
if I could find us a room in New York city
thered be no holding back
thered be no going back
in New York, New York
were out in the morning
weve seen out the night
walking the dawn
New York, New York
the light hits the buildings
were out on the town
its just like the movies
in New York city
down the streets wed walk and wed find our way
for a summer Id sware Id be true
down in Union Square, you held me there
I was so far from home
I was out on my own
drinking in the heart of New York city
you were holding your hand out to me
I was down and out in New York city
trying to get back on my feet
in New York, New York
were out in the morning
weve seen out the night
walking the dawn
New York, New York
the light hits the buildings
were out on the town
its just like the movies
New York, New York
were out in the morning
weve seen out the night
walking the dawn
in New York
the light hits the buildings
were out on the town
its just like the movies
in New York city
New York city
in New York city
