New York City Song Lyrics

'The bright lights... the big city

Went straight to my baby's head
She never listened to a word

Or what her daddy said

The music and the parties

And the laughter turned her on

She lost herself in runnin'

And all we had was gone

CHORUS

That's the year my dream died in New York City
That's the year I had to leave that town

That's the year people my dream died in New York City

That's the year I left without a sound

The bottles are all empty

And we sang our farewell song

Thank the Lord that New York City
People love you strong

I think of all the good times

When my cup overflowed

Ain't it funny baby

That we've taken different roads

CHORUS

There'll always be a little

New York City in my heart
