New York City can be so pretty From a bird's eye view Because up there Yeah that's where I first kissed you
A modern day romance A perfect performance Acting like two fools Saying silly things Whisper sweet nothings Like young lovers only do
I was shaking You were breath taking Like the Empire State My voice was so far Not quite Sinatra Singing songs so great
The clock struck one The night still very young In the city that never sleeps Then a whirlwind blew When I first kissed you nearly swept me Swept me off my feet
When I first kissed you That's when I knew I was in love
Because up there Yeah that's where I first kissed you
