Verse 1
you called me last night
on the telephone
i was glad to hear from you
cuz i was all alone
you said "it's snowing, it's snowing
God i hate this weather"
now i'd walk thru blizzards
just to get us back together
Verse 2
we met in the springtime at a rock'n'roll show
it was in the bowery when it was time to go
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
Chorus
cuz everyone's your friend
in new york city
and everything looks beautiful
when you're young and pretty
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
Verse 3
statue of liberty
staten island ferry
alphabet city, breakfast at tiffany's
central park, brooklyn bridge
the empire state where king kong lives
coney island and times square
rockefeller centre
wish i was there
Verse 3
you wrote me a letter
just the other day
said springtime is coming soon
so why don't you come and stay
packed my stuff i'm on the bus
i can't believe it's true
i'm three days from new york city
i'm three days from you
Chorus
now everyone's my friend
in new york city
and everything looks beautiful
when you're young and pretty
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
you and me.. you and me .. you and me ..
