New York City

They Might Be Giants

You called me last night
On the telephone
And I was glad to hear from you cause I was all alone
You said it's snowing, it's snowing
God I hate this weather
Now I walk through blizzards just to get us back together

We met in the springtime at a rock and roll show
It was on the Bowery when it was time to go
We 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

Cause everyone's your friend
In New York City
And everything looks beautiful
When you're young and pretty
The 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

Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry
Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge
The Empire State where Dylan lived
Coney Island and Times Square
Rockefeller Center
Wish I was there

You wrote me a letter
Just the other day
Said springtime is coming soon
So why don't you come to stay
Packed my stuff, it's on the bus
I can't believe it's true
I'm three days from New York City and I'm three days from you

Cause everyone's my friend
In New York City
And everything looks beautiful
When you're young and pretty
The 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

Cause everyone's my friend
In New York City
And everything looks beautiful
When you're young and pretty
The 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
