lyrics

I had a dream
I was flying over Manhattan.
Past Brooklyn Bridge
and up to 5th Avenue.
I landed in Central Park
while dusk was kissing the dark
and off in the distance
stood the silhouette of you.

You said,
“Boy don’t you see?
There’s no other place to be.”
You said,
“I want to live in New York.
I want to live in New York.
I want to roll downtown
and get lost underground
on a subway as we ride off into forever.”

I’ll be a hipster
and you’ll wear skinny jeans.
I’ll busk for change in the street
while you are waitressing.
When it would rain outside
our flat came alive
as we acted out “When Harry Met Sally”.

And you’d say,
“Boy don’t you see?
There’s no other place to be.”
You said,
“I want to live in New York.
I want to live in New York.
I want to roll in the streets of downtown NYC,
past Times Square as we wander into forever.”

Forever…
I don’t want to wake up.
Never want to wake up.
Not with you not here.

I had a dream
I was flying over Manhattan.
And all was perfect
and all was well as we sang.

“I want to live in New York.
I want to live in New York.
I want to roll downtown
and get lost underground
on a subway as we ride off into forever.”

I want to live in New York.
Oh I want to live in New York.
I want to roll with you hand in hand,
all night long as we can.
Cause I want live in New York.
I want to live in New York.
