The View From Here (Riverwalk)

The city is sparkling with twinkling lights It's one of those magic, Manhattan-y nights Can't tell what comes next, he's sure taking it slow But he's holding my hand and he's not letting go He's goofy, he's tall, he's got a good heart But I don't wanna fall and have it all fall apart I look in his eyes and they keep saying, "Leap and the net will appear" So why not dive in? 'Cause a brand new beginning feels long overdue That's the view from here That's the view from here They said it's supposed to snow tonight Really? It doesn't feel cold enough Not cold at all How wet are my armpits, how red is my face? When I used to date, holding hands was third base I think there's a spark, could this thing become real? Could it possibly be that she might feel like I feel? This woman's as kind as a human could be So why would she wind up with someone like me? And what if we find out in time maybe I'm that same jerk, like I fear? 'Cause the man that I see could so easily be just a Scrooge déjà vu That's the view from here That's the view from here Maybe I haven't lost sight of what's right 'Cause tonight it's so perfectly clear Somehow I see who I could be just being with you That's the view from here That's the view from here
