Analysis of New York



New york, new york
City of dreams and lights that gleam
New york, new york
Can it be my next port?

The cold stung my face
I felt alive in that place

Alive when my hands caught the ice
Unreal in those underground wheels

New york, new york
The city sneaking into my mind
New york, new york
Where life and hope chaotics find

New york, new york
Where dreams come true
New york, new york
I'll see you soon
