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 ..
