New York

I am not falling in love Not chasing a dream Or painting a picture of you Stand with feet on the ground Not holding my breath Just waiting for time to bring you Near, I'm holding you close I try to be patient The distance between us breaks me Soon be breathing you in When I'm safely home And the clouds break People come People go You'll be waiting there And I won't see you falter People run People fall Breaking through the mist You'll be standing taller So tell me New York, New York New York, New York Beacon of light across the sea New York, New York New York, New York Hold out your hand and walk with me You, you keep me alive A reason to be A friend who will make me stronger We can talk 'til it's late We'll wait for the sun To wake the Manhattan skyline When the crowds have all gone And it's only us We will stay here People come People go You'll be waiting there And I won't see you falter People run People fall Breaking through the mist You'll be standing taller So tell me New York, New York New York, New York Beacon of light across the sea New York, New York New York, New York Hold out your hand and walk with me Breathe you in and I Know that you're back again Live with me For the rest of my lifetime, baby People come People go You'll be waiting there And I won't see you falter People run People fall Breaking through the mist You'll be standing taller So tell me New York, New York New York, New York Beacon of light across the sea New York, New York New York, New York Hold out your hand and walk with me Breathe you in and I Know that you're back again Live with me For the rest of my lifetime, baby
