Lyrics

The marathon was running
The city's on a high and everyone keeps coming
Cheering in the cold but what is cold when you're hugging?
Everybody knows the city's getting some loving
We would walk 66th Street
Your hand was in my back pant pocket, a real treat
Corduroys today and everyone was a rocker
I love it when you say you love me like it's a shocker
We are finally a chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this city's yours and mine, yeah
There's a saying they say sometimes
Your life is just a day and if that's so they must have dreamt mine
I'm holding out my hand, you took my hand for the taking
I even made you laugh at all those bad jokes I was making
I swear let this day keep coming true
I'm falling in love along First Avenue
It's never been me but babe I think I've arrived
I need you with me to make my city alive
Oh yeah, babe
We are finally a chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this city's yours and mine
Can this be
The same city that I bemoan?
Can this be
The same city where I was alone?
Can this be?
Was this wrong if I run up above?
Can it be
I found my present in new love?
Oh please
Pretty please
Oh yeah
We are finally a chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this city's yours and mine
We are finally a chapter in some New York story
That has been in my mind for a long, long time
Feels like this city's yours and mine, yeah
