I remember it like it was
yesterday
Snow in the park
and skaters on the ice
Long black cars standing
side by side
Loading up the boys at night
Turned up our collars to the
chill of the wind
Caught an innocent smile
from a taxi at the lights
Not something you'd see
on a New York street
It's such an uncommon sight
But I wouldn't have it
any other way
This city's got a thing
about it
don't try to understand it
New York City I'd really
like to stay
New York City
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
any other way
Oh the subway rumbled
underneath
Italian lights
where Joey Gallo died
And the man on the door
down at 54's
Letting only the
pretty inside
I'd wake with a stranger
under the covers
Late in the day
and longing for the night
Just like the snowfall
there's so many bodies
But somehow
it feels so right
But I wouldn't have it
any other way
This city's got a thing
about it
don't try to understand it
New York City I'd really
like to stay
New York City
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
any other way
And I can feel the magic
And reed million lips
And no matter what my happen
The never sent that she
But I wouldn't have it
any other way
This city's got a thing
about it
don't try to understand it
New York City I'd really
like to stay
New York City
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
any other way
I wouldn't have you
any other way
