Now it`s always once upon a time
In New York City
It`s a big old, bad old, tough old town, it`s true
But beginnings are contagious there
They`re always setting stages there
They`re always turning pages there for you
Ain`t it great the way it all begins
in New York City?
Right away you`re making time and making friends
No one cares where you were yesterday
If they pick you out you`re on your way
To a once upon a time that never ends
So, Oliver, don`t be shy
Get out there, let go and try
Believing that you`re the guy
They`re dying to see
`Cause a dream`s no crime
Not once upon a time
Once upon a time in New York City
If it`s always once upon a time
In New York City
Why does nightfall find you feeling so alone?
How could anyone stay starry eyed
When it`s raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain is saying,
