New York City Blues Lyrics
New York City Blues Song Lyrics
Once I said goodbye
to New York City
sweet city
I said goodbye
But I got to get back to you
If I have to walk
or crawl or fly
I can't say goodbye to New York City
sweet city
something's got to give
They say it's a great place to visit
but my heart tells me it's a better place to live...
If I come by plane I can see those buildings high
and If I come by boat I can really heave aside
and If I come by train I can watch those streets go by
and If I land in the airport come in the skyway
catch a cab that's going my way
love the busy home yes this is my day
New York is my town
yes New York, New York is my town
And I'll go uptown, downtown
in this big happy sad town
they love go uptown, downtown
in this big happy sad town
east side, west side
all around the town
I love the people, yes the people
and all they make that big town swing
in the autumn, in the winter
in the summmer, in the spring
Yeah the people are everything
And I'll go uptown, downtown
Oh I'll go uptown, downtown
east side, west side
New york is my city
New York!
