You called me last night

On the telephone

And I was glad to hear from you

'Cos I was all alone

You said it's snowing, it's snowing

God I hate this weather

Now I'd walk through blizzards

Just to get us back together



We met in the springtime

At a rock'n'roll show

It was in the Bowery

When it was time to go

We kissed on the subway

In the middle of the night

I held your hand, you held mine

It was the best night of my life



'Cos everyone's your friend

In New York City

And everything looks beautiful

When you're young and pretty

The 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

(.. ??* ..), Breakfast at Tiffany's

Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge

The Empire State where King Kong lives

Coney Island and Times Square

Rockefeller Centre

Wish I was there...



You wrote me a letter

Just the other day

Said springtime is coming soon

So why don't you come to stay

I packed my stuff, I'm 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



And everyone's my friend

In New York City

And everything looks beautiful

When you're young and pretty

The 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...

You and me...

You and me...

You and me...
