Memory Lane

[judecorp]

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.

The Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry,
Co-Op City, Katz's, and Tiffany's,
Central Park, the 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?"
I packed my stuff, got 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.
