New York, to that tall skyline I come, flyin' in from London to your door

New York, lookin' down on Central Park

Where they say you should not wander after dark

New York, like a scene from all those movies

But you're real enough to me, but there's a heart

A heart that lives in New York

A heart in New York, a rose on the street

I write my song to that city heartbeat

A heart in New York, a love in her eye, an open door and a friend for the night

New York, you got money on your mind

And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference, so here's to you New York

New York, now my plane is touching down
