I watch the sky turn black to blush Head still spinning from the rush Of all the things I did the night before And looking down from my hotel These dawn-lit streets begin to fill With memories of you and I On a New York City night On a New York City night I shake my head to clear the sounds The traffic horns, the growing crowd The sun awaking over central park But still it creeps beneath my skin All of these heartbeats in the din With concrete dreams stirring to life On a New York City night On a New York City night And I take it with me when I leave The crowded skyline, the energy The sleepless city always leaves its mark Just close my eyes and I'm back again The neon flush upon our skin Still wrapped in thoughts of love and wine On a New York City night On a New York City night
