New York City lyrics

You called me last night on the telephone
And I was glad to hear from you `cause I was all alone
You said, `It`s snowing, it`s snowing! God, I hate this weather.`
Now I walk through blizzards just to get us back together

We met in the springtime at a rock-and-roll show
It was on the Bowery when it was time to go
We kissed on the subway in the middle of the night
I held your hand, you held mine, it was the best night of my life.

`Cause everyone`s your friend in New York City
And everything looks beautiful when you`re young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds and there`s just so much to see
But the best thing about New York City is you and me

Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz`s and Tiffany`s*
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived**
Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center
Wish I was there

You wrote me a letter just the other day
Said, `Springtime is coming soon so why don`t you come to stay.`
I packed my stuff, got on the bus, I can`t believe it`s true
I`m three days from New York City and I`m three days from you

`Cause everyone`s my friend in New York City
And everything looks beautiful when you`re young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds and there`s just so much to see
But the best thing about New York City is you and me

`Cause everyone`s my friend in New York City
And everything looks beautiful when you`re young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds and there`s just so much to see
But the best thing about New York City is you and me
