I watch the sky turn black to blush 
Head still spinning from [bad word] 
Of all the things I did the night before 

And looking down from my hotel 
These dawn-lit streets begin to fill 
With memories of you and I 
On a New York City night... 

On a New York City night... 

I shake my head to clear the sounds 
The traffic horns, the growing crowd 
The sun awaking over Central Park 

But still it creeps beneath my skin 
All of these heartbeats in the din 
With concrete dreams stirring to life 
On a New York City night... 

On a New York City night... 

And I take it with me when I leave 
The crowded skyline, the energy 
The sleepless city always leaves its mark 

Just close my eyes and I\'m back again 
The neon flush upon our skin 
Still wrapped in thoughts of love and wine 
On a New York City night... 

On a New York City night...
