I'm, not falling in love Not chasing a dream Or painting a picture of you
Stand, with feet on the ground Not holding my breath Just waiting for time to bring you
Near, I'm holding you close I try to be patient The distance between us breaks me
Soon, be breathing you in When I'm safely home And the clouds break
People come People go You'll be waiting there And I won't see you falter People run People fall Breaking through the mist You'll be standing taller
So tell me New York, New York, New York, New York, Beacon of light across the sea New York, New York, New York, New York, Hold out your hand and walk with me
You, you keep me alive A reason to be A friend who will make me stronger
We can talk till it's late We'll wait for the sun To wake the Manhattan sky line
When, the crowds have all gone And it's only us We will stay here People come People go You'll be waiting there And I won't see you falter People runPeople fall Breaking through the mist You'll be standing taller
So tell me New York, New York, New York, New York, Beacon of light across the sea New York, New York, New York, New York, Hold out your hand and walk with me
Breathe you in, and I Know that you're back again Live with me For the rest of my lifetime baby
People come People go You'll be waiting there And I won't see you falter People run People fall Breaking through the mist You'll be standing taller
So tell me New York, New York, New York, New York, Beacon of light across the sea New York, New York, New York, New York, Hold out your hand and walk with me
Breathe you in, and I Know that you're back again Live with me For the rest of my lifetime baby.
