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
