I Love New York
© 1995 by Joe Strell
Good-bye, New York City dreams and bright lights
Less and more than I thought you would be
Good-bye, Empire State Building a future here
Was never that easy—despite the feeling
I thought it could be
I thought it could be
Good-bye, Statue of Liberty, you comforted me
I now carry a torch of my own
Good-bye, 59th Street Bridge the gap
Between thought and deed
I remember you took me home...
I thought it could be
I thought it could be
I love New York (I love New York)
I love New York (I love New York)
I love New York (I love New York)
I love New York (I love New York)
Good-bye, Central Park, Bethesda Fountain angels
I recall our tears in the rain
Good-bye, Times Square billboards after midnight
Hailing a taxicab in vain...
I thought it could be
A chance to find me
But why so lonely
With so many people around me
I love New York (I love New York)
I love New York (I love New York)
I love New York (I love New York)
I love New York (I love New York)
