New York City can be so pretty

From a bird's eye view

Because up there

Yeah, that's where I first kissed you

A modern day romance

A perfect performance

Acting like two fools

Saying silly things

Whisper sweet nothings

Live young lovers only do



I was shaking

You were breathtaking

Like the Empire State

My voice was so far

Not quite Sinatra

Singing songs so great

The clock struck one

The night still very young

In the city that never sleeps

Then a whirlwind blew

When I first kissed you

nearly swept me

Swept me off my feet



When I first kissed you

That's when I knew

I was in love



Because up there

Yeah, that's where

I first kissed you
