new york
to your tall skyline i come
flying in from london
to your door
new york
lookin' down on central park
where they say you should not wander
after dark
new york
like a scene from all those movies
but you're real enough to me
but there's a heart
a heart that lives in new york
a heart in new york
a rose on the street
i write my song to that city heartbeat
a heart in new york
love in her eye
an open door and a friend for the night
new york
you got money on your mind
and my words don't make a dime's
worth a difference
so here's to you new york
new york
now my plane is touching down
