The City So Nice They Named It Twice

Dear New York, New York

From Central Park to Hudson Yards

All those crazy midnight bars

You have me forever

Like post-battle scars

This wild old world just won’t stop going round

And when I was lost, you made me feel found

On those loud cold nights, as it begins to rain

I know I’m deep in love, like citrus and champagne

You don’t have to remind me

You have the best intentions

So forgive me, New York

For the things I forget to mention

You’ll never ever fail to show me

How pretty life can be

And how nothing else matters

When you live in NYC

You made me who I am

So I just don’t give a damn

About what the future holds

And how it all unfolds

You made all my dreams come true

So thank you for that too

Living with you has been like starting over

My lucky four-leaf clover

I don’t know how I will ever pay you back

Which is why I don’t know what to say except

I owe you one, my dear

To the city that never slept
