I see the lights shine on the city
its morning now
there couldn't be more beauty in any other town
your dancing lights and endless nights
everybody knows you never sleep
but you're still beautiful to me

they say that if you make it here you'll make it anywhere
its gotta be the truth cause I'm not going anywhere
so leave me in New York...New York

Lady Liberty you're my shining star
i meet you in the garden after dark
and tell me all the stories of how we got our freedom
and tell me how America was born

they say that if you make it here you'll make it anywhere
its gotta be the truth cause I'm not going anywhere
so leave me, leave me in New York...New York, New York yeah

its gotta be the truth cause I'm not going anywhere


they say that if you make it here you'll make it anywhere
its gotta be the truth cause I'm not going anywhere
you're dancing lights have thrilled me
and your endless nights abused me

you're still beautiful to me
you're still beautiful to me

New York
