Love

Not the kind I have with Madgefer, my dog

But the kind of love I could fall for—Timothy, the boy

The love is everywhere, every corner, every step

I love you, New York, New York

I saw Timmy at a bagel shop in LES

But somehow I never run into you, even by your doorstep

I go to the shops we liked, the shows you wouldn't miss

But there's no you in New York, New York

It stays up all night for me and daydreams with me

Following the green lights, would they lead me to you?

I miss you—no, I don't miss you anymore

New York, New York

The song from your childhood, I'll play for my baby

The city's talking to me on these old cobblestone streets

The language you speak, the shopping list you tick

I love you, New York, you were my New York

It was you, New York, New York
