New York -- to that tall skyline I come

Flyin' 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, for there's a heart

A heart that lives in New York



A heart in New York arose on the street

I write my song to that city heartbeat

A heart in New York -- the love in her eyes

An open door and a friend for the night



New York -- you got money on your mind

And my words won't make a dime's worth of difference

So here's to you, New York
