A Heart In New York

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
For there's a heart,
A heart that lives in New York.
A heart in New York, arose on the street.
I write my song to that city heartbeat.
A heart in New York - the love in her eyes.
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 of difference.
So here's to you New York
