[00:28.697]When I was just a young man
[00:31.793]Stilled inside my teens
[00:35.791]Stepped into your city streets
[00:38.898]Stepped into a dream
[00:42.601]America
[00:46.120]Where all my heroes lay
[00:49.977]The land of Miles and Elvis
[00:53.682]Jerry Lee and Ray
[00:56.641]And I came to love you New York
[00:59.968]Your energy your honesty
[01:03.958]City of a million dreams
[01:07.151]You gave one up to me
[01:15.777]New York
[01:23.095]I walked into the Brooklyn Fox
[01:26.250]That snowy Christmas Day
[01:30.291]And Patty and the Blue Bells
[01:33.197]Simply stole my heart away
[01:36.995]She took me to Aretha Franklin
[01:40.987]Showed me so much soul
[01:44.501]And helped us join the party
[01:46.887]With our English Rock and Roll
[01:50.929]And I came to love you New York
[01:54.587]Your energy your honesty every time
[01:58.584]City of a million dreams
[02:01.588]You gave one up to me
[02:10.069]New York
[02:31.861]Now I played so many times
[02:34.626]Since nineteen sixty four
[02:38.806]In cities all across the land
[02:41.901]From shore to distant shore
[02:45.379]And I loved the way the people
[02:48.246]Always opened up their hearts
[02:52.518]But I never will forget the things
[02:56.002]The magic world I still embrace
[03:00.081]The place I never could replace
[03:03.127]That gave us such a start
[03:06.507]And I've come to love you New York
[03:10.038]Your energy your honesty every time
[03:14.017]City of a million dreams
[03:17.016]You gave one up to me
[03:19.979]New York
