They Might Be Giants - New York City lyrics

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

Because 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

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
You said, "Springtime is coming soon so why
Don't you come to stay"
I packed my stuff, it's 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

Because 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
