I can see my breath paint itself into the winter air vanish in the crooked line of the hanging sky weaving in with the city's scent of taxi cab's exhaust(ed) people buttoned up running around late always for something the rent is high but you are free to dream out loud adventure's guaranteed
Oh New York It's a city you can get lost in Oh New York It's a city you can get found in And you can find me here stepping tall, scraping the sky This is life This is living New York
Laying on pillows of yellow and red Fallen leaves under your head Autumn night in the park Clutching your lover close The only other sign of life is the kaleidoscope of city lights winking through the tree tops reminding you that you are in the heart of the world and it won't stop
Oh New York It's a city you can get lost in Oh New York It's a city you can get found in And you can find me here stepping tall, scraping the sky This is life This is living New York
Every turn's a promise Every block's a mystery You'll discover my heart beating to the pulse of these streets with the millions who surround me carving who I am to be
Oh New York It's a city you can get lost in Oh New York It's a city you can get found in And you can find me here stepping tall, scraping the sky This is life This is living New York New York (every block's a mystery) New York (kaleidoscope of life) New York (people all running round) New York (the heart of the world)
