[Intro]
[Verse 1]
When I went to New York City
I met you standing there so pretty
I couldn t take my eyes off of you
I didn t even know what to say or do
Now I m back home sitting in my room
You re so far away from me
I Wish that I was there holding you
Staring at the bright moon instead of at my ceiling
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh how I wish that we were together
And if it gets cold you can borrow my sweater
[Chorus]
New York city is the place I found happiness
I need to be back please take me back
I can t replace the feeling with any other girl
It needs to be you, right here, right now
[Verse 2]
My friends think this can t be true
That I finally found someone just like you
I know that they re jelous of me
But honesty, who wouldn t be?
It would be nice just to visit you
At the empire state staring out at the view
Holding each other so tight
Feeling the love, feeling the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh how I wish that we were together
And if it gets cold you can borrow my sweater
[Chorus]
New York city is the place I found happiness
I need to be back please take me back
I can t replace the feeling with any other girl
It needs to be you, right here, right now
New York city is the place I found happiness
I need to be back please take me back
I can t replace the feeling with any other girl
It needs to be you, right here, right now
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
New York city is the place I found happiness
I need to be back please take me back
I can t replace the feeling with any other girl
It needs to be you, right here, right now
New York city is the place I found happiness
I need to be back please take me back
I can t replace the feeling with any other girl
It needs to be you, right here, right now
[Outro]
