I can see my breath
paint itself into the winter air
vanish in the crooked line
of the hanging sky
weaving in with the city's scent
of taxi cab's exhaust(ed)
people buttoned up
running around late
always for something
the rent is high
but you are free
to dream out loud
adventure's guaranteed
Oh New York
It's a city you can get lost in
Oh New York
It's a city you can get found in
And you can find me here
stepping tall, scraping the sky
This is life
This is living
New York
Laying on pillows of yellow and red
Fallen leaves under your head
Autumn night in the park
Clutching your lover close
The only other sign of life
is the kaleidoscope of city lights
winking through the tree tops
reminding you that you are
in the heart of the world
and it won't stop
Oh New York
It's a city you can get lost in
Oh New York
It's a city you can get found in
And you can find me here
stepping tall, scraping the sky
This is life
This is living
New York
Every turn's a promise
Every block's a mystery
You'll discover my heart
beating to the pulse of these streets
with the millions who surround me
carving who I am to be
Oh New York
It's a city you can get lost in
Oh New York
It's a city you can get found in
And you can find me here
stepping tall, scraping the sky
This is life
This is living
New York
New York (every block's a mystery)
New York (kaleidoscope of life)
New York (people all running round)
New York (the heart of the world)
