New York
When I was just a young man
Still inside nineteen
I stepped into your city streets
cnd stepped into a dream
cmerica, cmerica,
Where all my heroes lay
The land of Miles and Elvis
Jerry Lee and Ray
cnd I came to love you New York
Your energy, your honesty
City of a million dreams
You gave one up to me
New York, New York, mmm.... New York!
I walked into The Brooklyn Fox
That snowy Christmas day
cnd Patti and her Bluebelles
Simply stole my heart away
She took me to cretha Franklin
Showed me so much soul
cnd helped us join the party
With our English rock'n'roll
cnd I came to love you New York
Your energy, your honesty, everytime
City of a million dreams
You gave one up to me
New York, New York, mmm... New York!
cnd now I've played so many times
Since 1964
In cities all across the land
From shore to distant shore
cnd I loved the way the people
clways opened up their hearts
But I never will forget the place
The magic world of steel and grace
The place I never could replace
That gave us such a start
cnd I've come to love you New York
Your energy, your honesty, everytime
City of a million dreams
You gave one up to me
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York, New York!
New York, New York, mmm... New York!
