Dion - New York City Song lyrics

Bright lights, the big city
Went straight to my baby's head
She never listened to a word
Of what her daddy said
The music and the parties and
The laughter turned her on
She lost herself in running
And all we had was gone

That's the year my dream died
In New York City
That's the year I had to leave that town
That's the year, people
My dream died in New York City
That's the year I left without a sound
Bottles are all empty and we
Sang an awful song
Thank the lord that New York
City people love the strong
I think of all the good
Times when my cup overflowed
Ain't it funny, baby
That we've taken different roads

That's the year my dream died
In New York City
That's the year I had to leave that town
That's the year, people
My dream died in New York City
That's the year I left without a sound

There'll always be a little New
York City in my heart
Though this country soul of mine I
Knew right from the start
Saints of stone are lonely in
The old cathedral hall
Perhaps they knew before the rest that
I had to leave it all

That's the year my dream died
In New York City
That's the year I had to leave that town
That's the year
My dream died in New York City
That's the year I left without a sound

My dream died in New York City
That's the year I
That's the year my dream died
In New York City
That's the year I had to leave that town
