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
