Album: Factory Showroom
You called me last night on the telephoneAnd I was glad to hear from you 'cause I was all aloneYou said, "It's snowing, it's snowing! God, I hate this weather."Now I walk through blizzards just to get us back together
We met in the springtime at a rock-and-roll showIt was on the Bowery when it was time to goWe kissed on the subway in the middle of the nightI held your hand, you held mine, it was the best night of my life.
'Cause everyone's your friend in New York CityAnd everything looks beautiful when you're young and prettyThe streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see
But the best thing about New York City is you and me
Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's*
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived**
Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center
Wish I was thereYou wrote me a letter just the other daySaid, "Springtime is coming soon so why don't you come to stay."I packed my stuff, got on the bus, I can't believe it's true
I'm three days from New York City and I'm three days from you
'Cause everyone's my friend in New York CityAnd everything looks beautiful when you're young and prettyThe streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to seeBut the best thing about New York City is you and me
'Cause everyone's my friend in New York CityAnd everything looks beautiful when you're young and prettyThe streets are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to seeBut the best thing about New York City is you and me.
