New York City Lyrics

Once upon a long ago

Your hand was mine to hold

But now you'd never know

It's as if I was a ghost

A memory deleted

A runoff sentence not completed

But I was there

I was there

'Cause New York City was my witness

To every act of love that we committed

Astor Place

Saw me kiss you

Central Park

Helped me win you

Snowing on a winter night

I held you close

I held you tight

I've heard the things you've said

I've heard we were just friends

Friends who walked alone

Trading secrets I hope you've never told

And if you look me in the eye

A thousand heavens will collide

'Cause I was there

I was there

'Cause New York City was my witness

To every act of love that we committed

Astor Place

Saw me kiss you

Central Park

Helped me win you

Snowing on a winter night

I held you close

I held you tight

You can say what you say

It doesn't matter

New York City saw it this way

'Cause New York City was my witness

To every act of love that we committed

Astor Place

Saw me kiss you

Central Park

Helped me win you

Snowing on a winter night

I held you close

I held you tight

I like New York in June

How about you?

I like New York in June

How about you?
