I was staring through a telescope at night

At a large light in the sky

Its spinning lights reminded me of you

A star spinning in orbit

Lighting up the sky

Or maybe it was not a star at all



I was standing by the Hudson River's edge at night

Looking out across the Jersey shore

At a neon light spelling out some cola's name

And I thought your name should be dancing

Beamed from satellites

Larger than any billboard in Times Square



Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid

I'm the one who loves you in each and every way

Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid

NYC lovers

Tell it to your heart

(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid

Tell it to your heart)

(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid

Tell it to your heart)



I'm on the roof, it's 5 a.m.

I guess I couldn't sleep

And I see this spinning light that I saw last week

Maybe I should wake you up

But by then it might be gone

You never know what you see when if you look up in the sky



I ran outside down a darkened street

Listening to my boot heels click

My leather jacket squeaked I needed a cigarette

When I turned the corner

My spinning light was in the street

They were filming a commercial on TV



Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid

We're no teenage movie that ends in tragedy

Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid

NYC Lovers

Tell it to your heart [x4]

(Tell it to your heart, please don't be afraid tell it to your heart) [x3]
