With nights too loud for dreams and 27 hour days. And often when it seems that she's just stumbling in a daze Still, she just can't slow down. Some say she's uninviting, uncaring and uncooth. Some say that she's cold and long foresaken by her youth. But all these lies about her can't be further from the truth. They don't know my town. I feel the heart that's beating in New York City With the warmth of the people that I've found. They're the kind who love to live And have so much love to give Yet, are strong enough to turn the world around. And when I need to know the meaning of romance And I give 'em half a chance, They never let me down. See, it's the people that you meet That are the breath and the heartbeat Of this great old town. There's nothing like the sparkle of her skyline after dark. Dreamers and adventurers come here to make their mark. And yet, in a New York minute you can be in Central Park. Where the world stands still. Now, I've done a lot of travelling, from Key Biscayne to Nome. And there's something about each place to love no matter where I roam. But I can't wait to get back to her. I call New York my home, And I always will. 'Cause I hear the love song you're singing in New York City It's a symphony that sounds like rock 'n roll. And in the subways and the streets There's a rhythm that beats Until it heats up every heart and every soul. 8 million different voices joining in here. While those who've never been here Blindly put her down. But, I don't care what they think of her 'Cause I live her and I love her And she's my home town. 1
