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 ..
