I watch the sky turn black to blush

Head still spinning from the rush

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

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

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
