Verse 1:
You called me last night on the telephone, and
I was glad to hear from you cause I was all alone, you 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 show
It was on 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.
Chorus:
Cause 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
/tacet
But the best thing about New York City is... you and
me
Verse 3:
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 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, 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
Solo:
Chorus:
Cause 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
Cause 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
